Prompt: You know someone is watching you day and night from the house across the street.


As the days passed, Sarah couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her. She trie to convince herself that it was just her imagination, but the feeling only grew stronger. One night, as she was getting ready for bed, she caught a glimpse of movement from the house across the street.

For a moment, Sarah froze. She knew that the house had been empty for months, ever since the previous owner had passed away. But now, she saw a faint light in one of the windows, and she could swear that she saw a shadow moving behind the curtains.

The next day, Sarah tried to shake off the feeling. She went about her day as usual, but every time she looked up, she found herself staring at the empty house across the street. As the sun began to set, she noticed that the light in the window had returned.

This time, Sarah didn't hesitate. She grabbed her phone and called the police. When they arrived, they searched the house, but found no one inside. Sarah felt relieved, but still couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her.

Days turned into weeks, and Sarah became obsessed with the house across the street. She found herself watching it day and night, trying to figure out who, or what, was inside. She even began to take notes, documenting every time she saw movement or a light in the window.

But as time went on, Sarah began to realise that she was becoming paranoid. She had no evidence that anyone was watching her, and she was letting her fear control her life. So one day, she made a decision.

She walked across the street and knocked on the door of the empty house. When no one answered, she took a deep breath and walked inside. The house was dark and silent, but Sarah felt a sense of relief wash over her. She knew that there was no one there, and that she had been imagining things all along.

From that day on, Sarah stopped watching the house across the street. She realised that her fear had been holding her back, and that it was time to take control of her life again. And as she walked away from the empty house, she knew that she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
