Summary
For as long as he can remember, the world has never felt empty.
As a child, he didn’t think of it as fear—just awareness. The sense that silence carried weight. That darkness wasn’t just the absence of light. That rooms noticed when you entered them.
The nights were worse. Dreams bled into waking moments. Footsteps came from places they shouldn’t. Voices tried to form words they didn’t quite know how to speak. Sometimes he woke up convinced he was already awake… only to realize something was standing in the doorway.
Then it stopped. Years of quiet followed—long enough to believe whatever had been there was gone. Long enough to let his guard down.
Until one afternoon, alone in the house, he saw something run across the room that shouldn’t have been able to exist at all. This isn’t a story about being haunted by a place. It’s a story about being noticed.
