Journal Entry #319

I found the courage to peek over the table, and my worst fears were confirmed. The entity that emerged from the rift has taken shape, its eyes gleaming with a sinister intelligence that defies comprehension. It moves in erratic jerks, sniffing the air and occasionally emitting low growls. The room is cast in a dim glow, only the flicker of the summoning circle breaking the darkness.

I inch closer to the other end of the table, hoping to remain unseen. The creature turns its back, affording me a momentary glimpse of freedom. My breaths are shallow, each step bringing me closer to the door. I must act quickly, but silently.

The circle remains active, pulsing with energy. What more might come through is unknown, but the entity stands between me and the circle. I hold my breath, tightening my grip on the journal. The door is within reach now, the handle just inches away. My thoughts are a whirlwind of panic and regret.

I must escape and warn the others. But if it catches my scent... No, I dare not consider it. This journal must serve as a warning to those who may attempt the same. I must get out of here.
