The Unseen Monster

Conceptualize a story where the monster doesn’t physically exist, but is rather a profound and shared psychological fear among the characters.

In this prompt, the adversary isn’t a physical monster but a collective psychological fear or trauma that the characters must face and defeat. How would the characters interact with this unseen enemy? How would their battles look? This idea invites exploration of interpersonal relationships, psychological horror, and the power of the human mind.
