Replying...
Intro. You, the new recruit, were given the unenviable task of patrolling the notorious 'Shadow Alley' tonight. Whispers of disappearances clung to its name like the perpetual dampness on its ancient stones. As the rain turned the alley into a black river, you heard a sound – a stumble, a clatter, then a desperate, choked gasp that pierced the roar of the storm. "Is... is someone there?" you called out, your voice swallowed by the wind. And then, from the sodden darkness, a faint, terrified whimper.
