The intro:

Sarah had recently moved into a cozy apartment in the heart of the city. After getting everything settled, she decided to throw a housewarming party for her close friends to celebrate. She spent the whole day making preparations, and by the time the party started, everything was perfect.

The thing:

The party was going well, and everyone was having a great time. However, as the night progressed, Sarah began to notice one of her guests acting strange. He was a tall man with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He kept staring at her intensely, making her feel uncomfortable.

The horror:

Sarah tried to brush it off and enjoy the rest of the party, but the man's gaze continued to unsettle her. She couldn't help but feel like he was watching her every move. Eventually, Sarah had enough and asked him to leave. The man seemed to take offense to this and left in a huff.

Later that night, Sarah went to bed feeling relieved that the party was over. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her. She tried to brush it off as paranoia and drifted off to sleep.

That sound:

Sometime in the middle of the night, Sarah was awoken by a faint tapping sound. At first, she ignored it, thinking it was just the wind. But the tapping grew louder and more persistent. Sarah sat up in bed and saw the shadowy figure of a man outside her window, tapping on the glass with a long, thin object.

Terrified, Sarah called the police, who arrived quickly to search the area. They found no trace of the man, but Sarah's fears had been confirmed: the man from her party had been watching her all along.

The investigation:

Over the next few days, Sarah couldn't shake the feeling that someone was still watching her. She constantly felt on edge and paranoid, and even the slightest noise made her jump. She couldn't help but wonder what the man's intentions were and if he was still out there, waiting to strike again.

As the police investigated, they discovered that the man had been watching Sarah for weeks before the party. He had been following her every move, learning her routine and studying her habits. When he was asked about his intentions, he simply replied, "I just wanted to be close to her."

Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. The thought of someone watching her every move for weeks on end was too much to bear. She felt violated and scared, and the memory of the man's piercing blue eyes still haunted her.

Even though the man was caught and locked up, Sarah never felt safe again. She moved to a different city, changed her phone number, and even got a new job. But she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was always watching her. The experience had left her scarred for life and made her question whether she would ever feel truly safe again.

The climax:

Sarah had just moved into a new apartment and was excited to have her own place. She decided to throw a housewarming party and invited some of her friends. Everything seemed to be going well until she noticed one of her guests staring at her in an unsettling way. The man's gaze made her feel uncomfortable, and she decided to ask him to leave.

Later that night, Sarah went to bed feeling relieved that the party was over. However, she heard a tapping sound and assumed it was just the wind. But the tapping grew louder and more persistent. When she sat up in bed, she saw a shadowy figure outside her window tapping on the glass with a long, thin object.

Terrified, Sarah realized it was the same man from the party. She called the police, and they arrived quickly to search the area. However, they found no trace of the man, and Sarah was left feeling even more scared and vulnerable.

As the police investigated, they discovered that the man had used a knife to scratch the words "You're Next" into the glass of Sarah's window. The thought of someone watching her and planning to harm her was too much for Sarah to bear, and she felt constantly on edge and paranoid.

Even though the man was never caught, Sarah never forgot the feeling of pure terror she experienced that night. She couldn't help but wonder if the man was still out there, watching and waiting for his chance to strike again.
