the dark intruder and other stories

One of the main themes could be mystery. The 'dark intruder' in the title implies something unknown and menacing, which often leads to a sense of mystery throughout the stories. Another theme might be the exploration of the human psyche, as characters may face their fears or inner demons when dealing with the intrusions or strange events in the stories.

Since I don't have the book right in front of me, it's hard to name the exact main characters. However, in stories with a concept like a 'dark intruder', there might be a brave character, perhaps a detective - like figure if it's a mystery - based story, who tries to solve the mystery of the intruder. There could also be a victim - like character who is initially affected by the intruder's presence.

One school intruder story is about a person who entered a school with a weapon. The school went into lockdown immediately. Teachers quickly hid students in safe places like closets. Fortunately, the security guards managed to subdue the intruder before anyone got hurt.

There was a case where an old lady lived alone. An intruder climbed through her window while she was sleeping. Her dog started barking which woke her up. She bravely grabbed a broom and chased the intruder out of her house. It was a very scary experience for her, but her quick thinking saved her from harm.

Not really. While literature can explore complex themes, forced situations like this are not that common. Writers usually prefer to show the journey of gay characters through self - acceptance, love, and positive interactions rather than through forced encounters with an intruder - like figure. There are so many other aspects of the gay experience to explore, such as coming - out stories, building relationships, and dealing with society's reactions.

I'm not aware of many positive 'forced gay intruder stories' as the concept of force in any relationship context is wrong. But in some fictional works, it could be about a gay person having an unexpected encounter with a stranger (the intruder) who forces them to confront their identity in a new way. For instance, a young gay man living in a conservative family has an intruder (metaphorically) in the form of a new neighbor who is openly gay and challenges his beliefs about hiding his identity.

The sudden realization that someone is in your space without permission. It's like your safe haven is invaded. For example, when you wake up in the middle of the night and hear strange noises that you know are not normal, it sends chills down your spine.

The suddenness of it all. In most intruder horror stories, the intrusion happens without warning. One moment everything is normal, and the next, there's a threat in your midst. It's like a shock to the system. It can be something as simple as hearing a noise that shouldn't be there and then realizing there's an intruder. This sudden disruption of normalcy is what makes these stories so terrifying.

The suddenness is really scary. You're just going about your normal day or night and then suddenly there's someone where they shouldn't be. For example, if you're in your living room watching TV and you hear a noise in the hallway and realize it's an intruder.

One time, my neighbor heard strange noises at night. When they peeked out, they saw a figure in the backyard. The intruder was trying to break into their shed. They quickly called the police and the sound of the sirens scared the intruder away.
