Carved Truth, Hidden Lies

People said a guardian watched over the neighborhood, leaving warnings on the walls. Dayana knew the rumors, but still felt uneasy. As she left, she glanced back at the gate and saw an image carved into the wall: a man holding a hatchet, with the words 'He is alive. ESCAPE.'

Dayana was confused. Was it about her boyfriend, with a dark past who went to protect her from a stalker and never came back? Or the stalker himself, who tried to kill her due to obssesion and she had no idea if that man was still lurking somewhere.

At first she was certain it was her stalker but she remembered, her lover was carrying a hatchet when he left.

She told the police, but unfortunately neither man was found.

Dayana was scared. Should she run from her missing boyfriend or the stalker? She is confused.

Dayana, she was never afraid of dying but the truth.
