Prompt: A woman is watching a scary movie alone on Halloween night - someone, or something, keeps knocking at her door.


It was Halloween night and Emily had decided to spend it alone, watching scary movies. She loved the thrill of being scared and the feeling of adrenaline rushing through her body. As the night grew darker, the wind picked up and the trees outside began to rustle.

Emily was sitting on her couch, wrapped up in a cozy blanket, with a bowl of popcorn by her side. She had just started watching a particularly scary movie when she heard a knock at the door. At first, she thought it was just the wind blowing against the door, but then she heard it again.

She paused the movie and got up to check who it was. As she approached the door, she felt a sense of unease wash over her. She looked through the peephole, but there was no one there. She shrugged it off, thinking it was just a prankster trying to scare her, and went back to the couch.

As she resumed watching the movie, the knocking started again. This time, it was louder and more persistent. Emily's heart started racing as she tried to ignore it and focus on the movie. But the knocking continued, and it was becoming impossible to ignore.

Emily got up again and cautiously made her way to the door. She looked through the peephole, but once again, there was no one there. She hesitated for a moment before slowly opening the door, peering out into the darkness.

Suddenly, a hand shot out from the darkness and grabbed her. Emily screamed and tried to pull away, but the grip was too strong. She was dragged out of her house and into the dark, eerie night.

As she was pulled through the streets, Emily realised that it wasn't just a prankster who had been knocking at her door. Something terrifying was happening, and she didn't know how to escape. She tried to scream for help, but her cries were drowned out by the howling wind.

Finally, Emily was brought to a stop in front of an old, abandoned house. The door creaked open and she was pushed inside. The darkness was overwhelming, and Emily could barely see anything. But then she heard a voice, a voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"Welcome to my home," the voice said. "I've been waiting for you."

Emily knew that she was in grave danger. She had to find a way out, but she didn't know how. She was trapped in a nightmare, on a Halloween night that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
