"It's still early enough in the summer that there's a chill to the air. You walk quickly to the alley where the recycling is kept."
"You put the boxes in their proper bin and you're about to head back when you feel a prickle at the back of your neck."
"Crickets had been chirping loudly when you came outside, but they're silent now."

"You listen carefully, trying to shake off the unease, when a scraping noise comes from the end of the alley."
"It sounds like something hard and heavy being slowly dragged across concrete."

z "H-hello? Is someone there?"
"As soon as you speak, you want to smack yourself. You've watched enough horror movies to know that was a dumb thing to do."
"The noise stops, but before anything else can happen, you turn around and jog back inside."
I'm completely stumped. This is the only part in the game where it happens.
