Achluophobia GhoulSpawn stumbled through the darkened forest, his breath coming in short, panicked gasps. The night was oppressive, a blanket of shadows that seemed to swallow every trace of light. The trees loomed over him, their twisted branches like the fingers of some malevolent force, reaching out to drag him deeper into the abyss.
He had been lost for hours, or maybe it had been days—time had lost all meaning in the suffocating darkness.
The forest was an endless maze, every path leading him further away from the safety of the lighthouse, further into the heart of his fear.
Achluophobia—fear of the dark.
