I thought it was just another quiet evening. The house was silent, the kind of peaceful silence that makes you feel at ease. I settled on the couch, scrolling through my phone, thinking nothing could disturb this calm.
Then it happened. A soft creak behind me. Just a faint sound, barely noticeable—but enough to make my heart skip a beat. I froze. My mind raced, trying to rationalize it: maybe it was the floorboards, maybe a pet, maybe nothing at all.
I turned slowly, every instinct screaming that something was off. And that’s when I saw it—a shadow where it shouldn’t have been. My pulse skyrocketed, and I couldn’t move. The hallway, the living room, even the dim light felt like it had shifted, like I had stepped into a different world.
