You decide its a critter, or the wind, or old cabin noises. you stay in bed. Getting sleepier by the second your tired mind, weighing how alert to be, decides you are safe. You start dozing off. You don't manage to startle awake when the kitchen tile creaks, or the wood paneling of the living room, or even from the croak of your bedroom door opening.
You do not hear the quiet footsteps in your bedroom, even when they land right at the edge of your bed.
You are asleep, and at peace.
You do not wake up.

You make your way to the door connecting your bedroom to the living room. You open it, stepping into moonlight spilling through the archway to the kitchen, having left the curtains in there open. You're slow and tired, blinking blearily as your eyes adjust to the light. They do not get a chance to adjust enough to make out the figure beside you in the room, in the shadows just outside the collumn of light.

You head for the bathroom, still slow and sleepy. Just as you're getting close to the bathroom door, you're startled awake all at once. The door connecting your bedroom to the livingroom is creaking open, draft from the house raising the hair on your arms as you freeze for a split moment. The whiplash of going from so tired to so frightened so quickly has you frozen in place just long enough to watch the first step the intruder takes into your room.
Blood pounds in your ears as your spur back into motion.
The intruder's footsteps speed up, abandoning efforts to stay unheard as you scurry to get inside the bathroom. You get a small glimpse of the figure in the dark of your room, breaking into a run, as you're closing the bathroom door, struggling to turn the lock with your shaking hands.
Just a few panicked breaths after closing the door, the intruder reaches it. Their hands slam onto the wood before trying the handle. Finding it locked, theres a small second of silence before the door begins jumping from repeated furious impacts.
What do you do?

You decide to step outside for some fresh air. You calmly open the front door and step out onto your porch. As you're turning around to close the door behind you, you make eye contact with a stranger in your house, standing right where you had just been in the entryway.
In partial disbelief, you bolt down the porch steps and away from the house.

You brush your teeth and splash a bit of water on your face.
As you're drying your hands you hear a creak in the living room. This is a creaky old cabin, its very possible it was nothing. You wait a beat for another noise, but it stays quiet.
What do you do?

You leave the bathroom and head into and through the living room. You pad along the wood floorboards, dripping water as you go. You get as far as the entryway before the intruder runs through your room and out to the livng room, right beside you. You stumble backwards as the stranger looms closer, shrouding your view of the front door.
Which door do you run for?

You dash for the door connecting your bedroom to the living room, aiming on bolting straight out the front door. Your frantic footsteps alert the intruder immedietly to your location. Its only takes the stranger a few strides to cross the living room to you from where they had been previously approaching the bathroom. You reach out for the front door, for escape.
Your fingertips barely graze the lock.
Your last sight is the inside of the door.

Creeping quietly to the door that connects your room to the living room, you pause long enough to hear a few more creaks, determining the intuder must be approaching the bathroom. You open the door as quietly as you can with your shaking hands. As you peek out the door and to the left, you barely see the figure entering the bathroom. Realizing you have seconds before they look from inside the bathroom and into your room, catching you,
you enter the living room and walk just slow enough to stay quiet. Even as you hear movement in your room just behind you, you stay quiet as you turn the lock and handle to the front door. The door to your room opens just as you get the front door open. You bolt out the door, boots thundering close behind you.

You rush to your phone on the bedside table, hurried footsteps thumping. Your shaking hands are fumbling with your passcode as the door that connects your room to the living room bursts open. You're standing only a few long strides from the door.
You are too close, and you are not fast enough.
You're grabbed right as you manage to unlock your phone, and you don't have time to dial or send a message.

The bathroom window doesn't get opened much, so its additionally stiff in the struggle to pry it upwards along the old warped framing. You're putting all your strength, all that adrenaline towards shoving this window open. The window jumps open a few inches, just needing a tiny bit more space before you can fit through. The banging continues, hinges tearing from the frame and the wood of the door starting to crack. In a final rush of desperation you wrench the window up just enough, clawing the already aged and weathered screening easily to the side. The door splinters open at the hinges just as you're throwing yourself to the lawn. Two quick footsteps, then you feel a hand grab for your leg, but they only manage to tear your sock off. You barely hit the grass before you're bolting off towards the road.
You dont stop running for a long time.

You force yourself to wait until the intruder cracks open the bathroom door, swiftly exiting before you're seen through the second bathroom door. You hear stomping in the bathroom as you get to the door. Its moved to your bedroom as you get your door open. You bolt out of your home.
You know you are being chased.
You don't stop running for a long time.

You quietly walk to your closet, opening it quieter than you ever have. You close yourself in, squeezing past hung up clothes to the back where you have bags and piles of old clothes.
You try desperatley to be both quiet and quick as you bury yourself in fabric, as deep as you can get. You hope you arent visible and that the intruder doesnt dig around.
You go still as you hear footsteps enter your room, searching for you. They make their way to the closet, pausing before slaming it open. The stranger pulls the drawstring of the light for your closet before sifting through the top layers of clothing. Your mind is blank, there is nothing else to be done but try desperatly to keep your breathing still and quiet. You don't know how long they search, but eventually footsteps depart. They roam around your bedroom a few more moments before going quiet.
Did they give up?

You lower yourself to lay on the ground on your stomach, crawling into the cramped space under your bed. Your breathing is shaky enough to wrack your whole body. You freeze, feeling more helples than you ever have. You listen as footsteps hit the tile of the bathroom, and the annoyed huff of the intruder at finding it empty. They enter your bedroom and your whole body tenses as you struggle to guess where in the room they are. Until they get close. Boots enter your view for a moment before passing you by to check your closet. Finding nothing, they slam the door back shut. A startled exhale forces its way out of your shaking chest. Your blood runs cold as you try to determine if it was audible. You clench your eyes shut, spending all your effort on keeping your throat shut and youir body still enough to stay quiet. You don't hear the next footsteps over you the blood pounding in your ears.
A hand wraps around your ankle, yanking you out of your hiding place.
Your eyes never open again.

You hide behind the door in your room to the bathroom. You freeze in the shadow of the door as the creaking approaches the bathroom.
You realize a possible flaw of your hiding spot as the intuder enters the bathroom. You can see the stranger through the crack of the door. Does that mean they can see you? they pause at the entrance of your bedroom, standing on the other side of the door where you can't see. The stranger slams the door open further, Smashing you into the wall and the air out of your lungs.

You stay frozen in place. the footsteps meander around, sometimes pausing for hours. Doors open and close. You lose and regain track of there the stranger is a few time. You're not sure when the intruder actually leaves. Every old cabin creak and rumble of piping sounds like a footstep. You wait until you hears birds chirping, then a few hours more. You consider staying longer, but the fear of being alone another night brings you out. Your heart is tired from racing all night, but it continues as you exit the closet.

You keep the kettle on the stove, listening closely for movement from the pantry.
As soon as you hear the water reach a boil, you fill your largest mug.
You make your way to the entryway, aiming for the front door. Just as you almost reach it, the pantry cracks open and a stranger thunders after you.
In one motion, you spin around and throw the steaming water right in the face of the intruder, giving you enough time to get out the front door and away from the intruder.

The bathroom window doesn't get opened much, so its additionally stiff in the struggle to pry it upwards along the old warped framing. The banging continues.
You're right there, you're RIGHT at an exit. You're putting all your strength, all that adrenaline towards shoving this window open. You have it open maybe 3 inches when to banging stops. The window jumps open a few more inches, just needing a tiny bit more space before you can fit through. You're so close, there can't be time for another way out of this. Your frazzled mind hears heavy footsteps aproaching the bathroom from the living room. In a final rush of desperation you wrench the window up just enough, clawing the already aged and weathered screening easily to the side as you set on diving out the window. Your're out the window from the chest up, limbs scrambling to finish pushing you out when you hear the intruder begin banging on the door from the living room. You spill onto the damp grass outside the window just as you hear the wood of the door begining to crack.
You dont look back.
