Always watching

Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. It was a beautiful sight, one that the small town of Willow Creek had grown used to over the years. But something sinister lurked in the shadows of the purple clouds, something that the townspeople couldn't see.

One night, after the clouds had dissipated and the moon had risen high in the sky, a young woman named Emily was walking home from a friend's house. As she walked down the deserted streets, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her. She quickened her pace, but the feeling only grew stronger.

As she turned onto her street, Emily saw something in the sky that made her blood run cold. There, in the midst of the purple clouds, was a pair of glowing eyes, staring down at her.

Emily broke into a run, but she could hear the sound of something chasing her. She didn't dare look back, knowing that whatever was behind her was not something she wanted to see.

She reached her front door and fumbled with her keys, her hands shaking with fear. Finally, she managed to get the door open and she rushed inside, slamming it shut behind her.

Emily locked the door and leaned against it, her heart racing. She tried to tell herself that it had all been her imagination, that the glowing eyes in the sky had been nothing more than a trick of the light. But deep down, she knew that something was out there, something that wanted to harm her.

Over the next few weeks, the people of Willow Creek began to notice that something was off. Pets went missing, strange noises could be heard in the night, and a sense of unease hung over the town like a dark cloud.

One night, as Emily was getting ready for bed, she heard a scratching sound at her window. She tried to ignore it, telling herself that it was just a tree branch or a stray animal, but the scratching grew louder and more insistent.

Finally, Emily summoned the courage to look out the window, and what she saw made her scream. There, on the other side of the glass, was a pair of glowing eyes, just like the ones she had seen in the sky.

Emily backed away from the window, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that whatever was outside her house was not human, and it was not friendly.

The scratching continued, growing louder and more frenzied by the second. Emily knew that she had to do something, but she didn't know what. She thought about calling the police, but she didn't think they would believe her.

In the end, Emily did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed a baseball bat from her closet and headed towards the front door. With a deep breath, she unlocked the door and flung it open, ready to face whatever was waiting for her.

But there was nothing there. The street was empty, and the scratching had stopped. Emily stood there, panting and sweating, her heart still racing.

As she turned to go back inside, she saw something that made her blood run cold. There, in the sky, were the glowing eyes, watching her every move. Emily knew that she was not safe, that the thing in the sky was still out there, waiting for its chance to strike.

And so, every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky, hiding the creature that preyed on the people of Willow Creek. The town became known as a place to avoid, a place where something dark and evil lurked just beyond the clouds.
