Suddenly I felt a dense coldness on the nape of my neck, and heard the sound of my own footsteps becoming especially loud and heavy. I started to regret coming this way alone at night. I felt that countless secrets were hidden under the crops on each side of the road and that countless eyes were scrutinizing me. I also felt that something was tailing me.
All of a sudden the moonlight got hazy. I involuntarily started to walk faster, but the faster I walked, the more I felt there was danger behind me. Finally, without thinking about what I was doing, I turned around to go back.
There was nothing behind me, of course.
