"I was walking alone through a large forest. The trees were very tall, and their leaves blocked most of the sunlight.
At first, everything was quiet. I could hear birds and the sound of leaves moving in the wind.
I followed a small path between the trees. After walking for a while, I noticed that the path was getting darker.
Then I heard a sound behind me.
I stopped and looked back, but I could not see anyone.
I started walking faster. A few seconds later, I heard the sound again. This time, it sounded closer.
I became scared and ran down the path. The trees seemed to become closer together, making it hard to move.
Suddenly, I saw a small light between the trees. I ran toward it and found a wooden cabin.
I opened the door and quickly went inside. The cabin was empty, but there was a warm fire burning in the fireplace.
I closed the door and felt a little safer.
Then I heard three slow knocks on the cabin door.
I stood still and looked at the door.
The knocking stopped.
I slowly looked through the window, but there was nobody outside.
Then I looked at the floor and saw muddy footprints. They started at the front door and ended beside the chair behind me.
I quickly turned around, but nobody was there.
I ran to the door, but it was locked. I tried to open it, but it would not move.
Then I heard a quiet voice behind me say, “You should not have come here.”
I turned around and saw a dark figure standing beside the fireplace.
I screamed and woke up."
