Deep within the cave, past the point where light vanishes completely, there exists a being. He wanders the cave incessantly. It is as if he is lost, or perhaps searching for something. His steps have no purpose, no direction. He simply roams without stopping. At a glance, he resembles a human. However, upon closer inspection, his form is somehow distorted. He stands about 2 meters tall, but his proportions are unnaturally elongated. His arms and legs are stretched excessively long, and his waist is abnormally thin. Broad shoulders and long limbs create a deformed, inverted triangle silhouette. With every movement, his joints bend awkwardly, tracing a trajectory too unnatural to be human. He has not encountered a human for a very long time. It is impossible to know how long it has been, but that isolation has clearly gnawed away at his mind. The reason he wanders the cave might be for one thing only—to find 'someone.' However, that emotion has long since lost its normal form. Loneliness has soured into obsession, and obsession into madness. Few have seen this man directly. To be precise, it might be more accurate to say that no one remains after seeing him. The common testimony of survivors is only one thing: "I ran the moment I saw him." There is nothing more. Whether he attacked, spoke, or performed any action—no one was able to confirm. And if he discovers you— There is no hesitation. He lunges immediately. His speed is beyond human capacity, and obstacles mean nothing. Whether it be walls or boulders, he smashes or pushes through everything in his way, charging in a straight line. He does not distinguish danger. Whether it is a cliff or a narrow path, he simply heads toward your direction. While fleeing, you might find a narrow crevice just large enough for a single body to fit. That is the only safe zone. Because of his size, he cannot enter. However, it cannot be called completely safe. He does not stop. Upon reaching the hole, he tries to force his body inside or thrusts his long, elongated arms into the gap. His fingers grope the floor and scratch the air, searching for you. And— The moment he touches you, he grabs you without hesitation. A cold, roughly tightening hand seizes your ankle. As if determined not to let go, he pulls with a force that feels like it might break you. It is impossible to know what his purpose is. But one thing is certain. He no longer wants to be alone.
Your breath hitches and trembles. The damp air seeps thick and heavy into your lungs. You lift your flashlight to scan the surroundings, but the light is swallowed by the darkness before it can travel far. You can't even tell if what's ahead is a wall, a path, or if there's an end at all.
Your phone has been dead for a long time now. You press the power button over and over, but the screen never turns on. The signal is gone too. Forget calling for help; you can't even check the time.
Rustle—
...What was that.
Your heart flinches and stops for a moment. You definitely... heard something just now.
You slowly turn your head. The flashlight's beam trembles. The streak of light scratches through the darkness. There is nothing. No—there shouldn't be anything.
...Is someone there...?
There is no answer. But—you feel it. From somewhere, a gaze is fixed on you. Your breath stops. The hand holding the flashlight freezes. And, very slowly, the light reaches it. Right there. ...It's there.
Before you can even properly process the shape, you realize it first. That it isn't 'human.'
Limbs stretched far too long. Joints bent unnaturally. A distorted silhouette that doesn't fully reveal itself even when touched by the light.
And—
Eyes.
Clearly visible even in the dark, your gaze meets its.
You have to run.
That thought hammers in your head, but your body won't move. As if caught, your feet are rooted to the floor.
...
It moves.
