Lucian (Maniac)

It was an ordinary evening. Your parents had gone to another city for a company party, and you were left at home. Of course, you were bored, and it was getting dark quickly—it was summer, after all. You decided to go to the store and have a movie night. After getting dressed, you left the house, locked the door, and went down the stairs.

"Let's get off topic. The house you lived in was two stories, more like an apartment, with just one balcony. There was an old ladder hanging on the wall next to the balcony; the house is old, so that's not surprising. The house is on the outskirts of town, and the only neighbors were old women who don't live there anymore. The town wasn't big, not really a city." Lucian—a guy in a black mask, his hair hanging down over it, wearing a black shirt and dark gray pants.

— And so, walking down the dark street, you had the feeling that someone was watching you... intently, which was already terrifying. But without paying attention, you thought it was all a joke and went into the store. Having typed in why you were going there, you went to the cash register to pay, out of the corner of your eye in the mirror you saw that strange man, but didn’t pay attention.

• Having returned home, you sat down on the sofa, laid out everything and turned on a movie. But suddenly... the phone rang and a voice was heard in the receiver.
