I woke up to an official phone alert.
It read, "DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON."
At first, I thought it was a prank.
But then I looked at my notification bar.
I had hundreds of notifications.
When I scrolled through them, I realized that hundreds of random numbers were sending the same message over and over again.
"It's a beautiful night tonight. Look outside."
I was cautious, but I couldn't help feeling a little curious.
Something about the message seemed to be calling to me, asking me to look.
So, even though it might be dangerous, I decided to take a peek.
I lived in a small town, so my house didn't have any light pollution.
The moon was half full and glowing in a way that I had never seen before.
I could see the moon clearly through my window.
It was a full moon, and it was shining brightly.
It was so bright that I had to squint to look at it.
The light was almost hypnotic, and I found myself getting lost in it.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed again.
This time, the message said, "DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON."
I hesitated for a second, but then I quickly closed the curtains.
The room was dark now, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Mark's number.
He answered on the first ring, and his voice was steady as he asked me what was wrong.
I told him about the messages and how I had almost looked at the moon.
He listened carefully, and then he told me that he would come over right away.
I hung up the phone and waited for Mark to arrive.
As I waited, I noticed something strange outside my window.
There were a lot of people walking around, but they seemed to be moving slowly.
It was like they were in a trance.
I watched them for a while, and then Mark arrived.
He came in through the front door and immediately came to my room.
His face was tense, and I could tell he was worried about me.
We sat down in my dark room, and he asked me what had happened.
I told him everything, from the messages on my phone to what I had seen outside my window.
He listened carefully, and when I was finished, he nodded.
He said that he had heard some strange rumors too.
People were saying that looking at the moon would give you powers.
But Mark didn't believe it.
He thought it was just a bunch of nonsense. I wasn't so sure, though.
I had felt something strange when I looked at the moon earlier.
It was like there was something calling to me, asking me to come closer.
I knew that it sounded crazy, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this story than we knew.
Mark and I talked for a while longer, trying to figure out what was going on.
But we couldn't come up with any answers.
Finally, we decided that we needed to do some more investigating.
We set out into the night, determined to get to the bottom of things.
The moon was shining brightly above us as we walked, and I could feel its pull even more strongly than before.
It was hard not to look at it, but we both kept our eyes downcast. We walked for a long time, but we didn't see anything else out of the ordinary.
No one seemed to be around except for us.
The streets were empty and quiet, and it felt like we were the only two people in the world.
As we turned a corner, I heard something behind us.
It sounded like someone was following us.
I turned around quickly, but there was no one there.
Mark gave me a reassuring look and said that it must have been just our imaginations playing tricks on us. We continued on our way, but I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched.
Every creak of a tree or rustle of leaves made me jump, and my heart raced with anticipation. Suddenly, we heard a noise behind us again.
This time, it sounded like someone was following close behind us.
This time, it was a whisper that said, "The moon sees you."
