Passage: “Last night, after a disturbing scuffle with my wife, I went out for a walk near the moor. It was bleak and eerie yet innocuous. Sometimes anger strangles your senses and you cannot cognize fear normally. I crossed the entire moorland and hadn’t realized it, I started feeling cold so I turned around to go back and as I looked ahead, it hit me. A sudden shiver ran all over me when I saw the haunted barren land. Now as I started walking back, I could feel my feet trembling, I kept feeling that someone was following me and I could hear howls and gnarls from a distance.” An excerpt from the speech of a renowned psychologist.
