I didn’t receive a response though I didn’t mind and moved on.

The moment I read this part, my hair literally rose in fear. My grandma was really into superstitions, and she often tells us that if we travel alone in the night, especially in a secluded place, we should greet everyone we meet. If he/she responded, then she's a human, but if he/she didn't respond or even nod or stare back at you, then it's definitely not like us. Reading this made me reminisce about that saying of hers, and I really like how you build up the tense and sinister setting of this story. I was really spooked out throughout the whole time I read it. Thanks for sharing such a well-written thriller, @deraawrites!
