Using the following prompt, write a 500-word short story!
Beyond the smouldering husk of a burned out city lies salvation, yet no one ever ventures that far. The locals know that something lurks in the darkness beyond the crumbling city walls, stalking the last pathetic dregs of humanity. Travelers and others who pass by are never seen again, though their screams are heard echoing throughout the shadowy night.
You dream of the outside world, yet the thought of leaving terrifies you. You've seen what calls the darkness its home... and it's seen you.
