Journey into Darkness

**Chapter 1: The Mysterious Road**

The night grew darker. The sky was overcast, and the moonlight only occasionally broke through the clouds. Arjun sat in his old car, which was slowly moving along a deserted road. He was heading to his village, but according to the map, he had never seen this road before. On both sides of the road stretched a dense forest, and there was a strange feeling in the air. Arjun felt as if someone was watching him. The road was called **"The Black Path."**

**Chapter 2: The Car Breaks Down**

Suddenly, the car's engine stalled. Arjun tried to start it several times, but the car wouldn't budge. He stepped out and began checking the engine. He pulled out his phone, but there was no signal. Silence surrounded him, broken only by the rustling of the wind. Arjun decided to wait for a while, hoping that another car might pass by and help him.

**Chapter 3: Strange Noises**

After some time, Arjun began to hear strange noises coming from the forest. The sounds resembled those of animals, but there was something eerily human about them. Arjun's heart began to race. He decided to get back into the car and close the door, but just as he was about to do so, he noticed shadows moving around the car.

**Chapter 4: Facing the Shadows**

Arjun turned on the car's headlights, but the light was very dim. He saw that the shadows were slowly approaching. They looked like beasts, but their eyes were human. Arjun decided to stay inside the car and lock the doors. He thought he would wait until morning, but he didn't know that this night would be the longest of his life.

**Chapter 5: The Attack**

Suddenly, there was a loud thud on the car window. Arjun saw that a strange creature had attacked the glass. Its eyes glowed red, and its sharp teeth gleamed. Arjun tried to start the car, but the engine didn't respond. He panicked and began searching for something to defend himself.

**Chapter 6: Fleeing into the Forest**

Arjun saw that more creatures were gathering around the car. He decided to abandon the car and run into the forest. He quickly opened the door and ran towards the trees. Behind him, he could hear the roars of the creatures. He ran without stopping, but the forest grew darker and denser.

**Chapter 7: The Mysterious Hut**

As he ran, Arjun spotted a small hut. He rushed to it and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He opened the door and went inside. A candle was burning inside the hut, and an old man sat in the corner. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in deep meditation. Arjun told him his story, but the old man didn't respond.

**Chapter 8: The Old Man's Secret**

Arjun asked the old man if he could help him. The old man opened his eyes and looked at Arjun. His eyes were empty, as if there was no life in them. The old man said, "You cannot stay here. This place is not for you." Arjun asked what he should do, and the old man replied, "Leave and never return."

**Chapter 9: The Journey Back**

Arjun heeded the old man's words and left the hut. He ran through the forest and eventually found his way back to the road where he had left his car. The creatures were gone, and silence surrounded him. Arjun tried to start the car, and this time the engine roared to life. He drove away quickly and never looked back.

**Chapter 10: The Truth Revealed**

Many years later, Arjun thought about that night. He tried to learn more about that place, but no one knew about the road. One day, he came across an old newspaper that mentioned how several people had disappeared on a road many years ago, and they were never found. Arjun realized he had been on that very road, and those creatures were real monsters that fed on humans. He decided he would never travel that path again, and the memories of that night would haunt him forever.
