Sample text:

A large feminine cry rang out into the mist from the alley, causing Trevor to run into it with abandon. The mist seemed to vanish, replaced by the smothering darkness, as he followed the alley with the little light that was left. Another cry made him hasten his pace, with the darkness now seeming to choke the air out of his throat. The more he moved into the alley, the more the grip appeared to hold around his neck, making him cough and splutter as he rushed to get to Kathy.

The pathway ended, and he knocked his knee into the corner of a brick wall. He cried out, falling down to his other knee. He hardly had time to deal with the pain when he heard a soft, wailing noise. As his head spun from the aching throb in his knee, he looked around in the darkness, trying to spot its source.

Trevor reached into his pocket for his phone, removing it and waking its light. He shone it into the ally around him, moving it around and back again as the wailing noise seemed to get closer. It sounded very much like a baby crying softly, but there was maleficence to it too. He wasn’t too sure if it was wailing or laughing darkly anymore.
