The small creatures moved in the shadows, their eyes reflecting the light and creating an eerie glow. The sounds of their movement, a soft rustling, filled the silence, making the scene even more unnerving. James continued, his voice laced with concern, “Remember the one you told about at the school? It was injured, right? Seeing these ones here, they might be in trouble too. Maybe they fell in and can’t get out. We can’t just leave them here.”
