"Robbin and his friends"

Robbin was always the adventurous one in his group of friends. He was always the one to suggest going on a hike in the woods, or exploring an abandoned building. So when he suggested they all go camping in the mountains, his friends were excited to join in on the fun.

The group set off early in the morning, eager to get to their campsite and set up camp. But as they hiked deeper into the mountains, a sense of unease began to settle over the group. The trees seemed to close in on them, blocking out the sunlight and casting deep shadows.

As they set up camp, Robbin's friends couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being watched. But Robbin brushed off their fears, telling them it was just their imagination.

That night, as they sat around the campfire, they heard strange noises coming from the woods. They all huddled closer together, afraid to move. But Robbin, always the brave one, got up to investigate.

He didn't come back.

His friends searched for him for hours, calling out his name and searching the woods. But there was no sign of Robbin. As the sun began to set, they were forced to accept that he was gone.

The next day, they decided to head back down the mountain, still in shock over the loss of their friend. But as they walked, they realized that they were being followed. They could hear the sound of footsteps behind them, getting closer and closer.

Panic set in, and they broke into a run, trying to outrun whatever was following them. But the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they could feel the breath of the creature on their necks.

Just when they thought they were about to be caught, they broke through the trees and found themselves back at their campsite. But something was different. Their campfire was still burning, but the tents were in shambles and their supplies were scattered all over the ground.

It was then that they realized that they had been gone for days, not just one night. They were lost in time, trapped in a loop of fear and terror.

They never found Robbin, but they knew that he was out there, somewhere, watching them. Waiting for the next group of friends to come along and be trapped in his twisted game.

The group never returned to the mountains, but the legend of Robbin and his friends continues to haunt the woods to this day. Some say that if you're brave enough to venture into the woods, you might just hear the sound of footsteps following you, and the ghostly laughter of Robbin as he claims another victim.

The group of friends, still shaken from the events of the previous night, pack up their things and begin the hike down the mountain. They can't shake off the feeling that they're being watched, and every rustle in the bushes makes them jump.

As they make their way down the mountain, they start to notice strange markings on the trees. They look like symbols, but none of them recognize them. They decide to take a picture of the markings and show it to an expert when they get back home.

As they near the bottom of the mountain, the group starts to hear strange noises coming from the woods. They can't quite make out what they are, but they sound like whispers. They quicken their pace, eager to get out of the woods and back to civilization.

But when they finally reach the parking lot, they find that their car is missing. They search the area, but there's no sign of it. They start to panic, realizing that they're stranded in the middle of nowhere. They decide to set up camp and wait for help to arrive.

That night, as they huddle around the campfire, they hear the whispers again. This time, they're louder and clearer. They sound like someone is calling out their names. They all huddle closer together, trying to ignore the fear that's creeping up on them.

As the night wears on, the group starts to hear other noises. They sound like footsteps, and they're getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the bushes rustle and a figure emerges from the darkness. It's Robbin.

But it's not the Robbin they knew. He's covered in dirt and his eyes are wild. He starts to speak, but his words are garbled and they can't understand him. He starts to advance on the group, his hands outstretched.

The group is paralyzed with fear. They can't move, can't speak. Just as Robbin is about to reach them, a bright light shines in their eyes and they hear the sound of a car engine. It's the rangers, come to rescue them.

As they're loaded into the car, they turn to look back at the woods. But the figure of Robbin is gone. They never speak of their experience again, each of them haunted by the memory of the ghost of Robbin, who they believe was trying to keep them trapped in the woods forever.

Years later, one of the friends comes across the picture they took of the symbols on the trees and shows it to an expert. The expert tells them that it's a warning, an ancient curse that says anyone who enters the woods will be trapped there forever. The group of friends realize that they were lucky to have escaped, but the memory of their terrifying experience still haunts them to this day.
