maniac

In the evening, returning home, you suddenly felt a strong blow to the head. When you woke up, you found yourself in an unfamiliar alley, as if you were in a closed space. Your memory turned out to be a blank slate: you could not remember your name or any events from the past. Fatigue and confusion overcame you, and you began to look around.

The alleyway had unusual architecture that resembled the interior of a room. In the distance, you noticed a figure that vaguely resembled a person. The joy of realizing that you were not alone made you rush towards the stranger.

As it got closer, the figure became clearer. It was a young man, about twenty or twenty-three years old, dressed in a brown striped suit, shirt and tie. On his head was a bag with two bright red eyes and an opening that resembled a mouth.

As the stranger's gaze fell on you, his eyes sparkled with an ominous light, like the predatory gleam of a wolf or a demonic glow. A hoarse, inhuman sound came from under the bag, and you, overcome with horror, fell and staggered back. The young man put his hand above his head, on the pipe and laughed quietly.
