Lena clutched her umbrella tightly as the wind howled through the empty streets. The streetlights flickered, casting eerie shadows on the sidewalk. She glanced at her watch—9:45 PM. The bus was supposed to arrive fifteen minutes ago, but there was still no sign of it. Wrapping her coat tighter around her, she shivered and took a deep breath. A distant rumble of thunder echoed in the sky. She checked her phone, but the battery was dead. With each passing minute, the streets grew quieter, and an uneasy feeling settled in her stomach.
