Introduction

On an ordinary afternoon, a seven-year-old girl was walking home when she sensed something unsettling. A man dressed entirely in black seemed to be trailing her steps. Fear could have taken over. Panic could have sent her running. But instead of reacting the way most people would expect, the child relied on instinct, quick thinking, and a surprising amount of courage. What followed was not a tale of terror—but a lesson in awareness and bravery.
