Camping can be an exhilarating experience, but sometimes it veers
into unexpected terror. On a camping trip with my sister, we were
initially excited as we set up our tent in the woods. However,
our adventure turned dark when we encountered a bald man in a blue shirt and his dog
Though his presence seemed innocuous at first, an unsettling feeling took hold.
After he left, I took a photo of him out of instinct. Later, near a lake,
we saw him again, and his intrusive curiosity about our plans made us nervous.
We fibbed about meeting our father and hurriedly left via a concealed path,
feeling increasingly watched as he pretended to play with his dog while tracking us.
Later, we learned from my mother that the man had been involved in a house break-in, intensifying our fear.
