The Footsteps Behind

In Japan, they say if you hear footsteps behind you at night, never turn around.

A woman ignored this warning walking home through empty streets. The footsteps matched

her pace perfectly. She stopped. They stopped. Her heart pounded as curiosity consumed

her. She spun around. Nothing there. Relief washed over her until she felt

icy breath on her neck. The legend warns that the entity only appears after

you look away. Her scream echoed through the alley, but by morning, only her shoes remained

on the pavement.
