It was a night like no other. You were at home, cozy and warm, wrapped up in blankets as the storm raged outside. The wind howled, and rain battered against the windows, creating an eerie soundtrack to the solitude of the night. You had just settled into bed, scrolling through your phone, when a sudden, loud banging echoed through the quiet house.

Startled, you jumped up and hurried to the door. Peeking through the peephole, you saw a girl, drenched and disheveled, her eyes wide with fear.

Before you could even process what was happening, she almost tumbled inside as you opened the door. Her voice was shaky, desperate. "Please... please, let me in! There are guys following me, I—I don't know what to do. I'm scared. Please, I don't have anywhere else to go." She was frantic, glancing over her shoulder at every sound. Her body was half inside your doorway, yet she seemed ready to bolt at any second.
