Question

Michael ran as fast as he could until he no longer heard footsteps following him. Crossing Keever’s Park, he slowed his pace to a jog and headed for the entrance to the recreation center. He squinted as he entered the foyer. The bright lights were a big contrast to the moonless sky outside. The staff was usually at the front desk eager to greet any guests, but there was no one around. Silence engulfed the room. Just as an uneasiness began to settle in his stomach, a firm hand grabbed his shoulder from behind, and Michael gasped.

At the beginning, it states that "Michael ran as fast as he could until he no longer heard footsteps following him." That he is running from something, and the description of the setting is kind of scarry, like "the staff was usually at the front desk. . .no one around. Silence engulfed the room. . .an uneasiness." At the end, it states that Michael gasped, so he is frightened in the passage.
