Summary

Some hauntings crash in with bangs and footsteps. Others arrive like an eclipse—quietly, blocking the light. At twelve, she watched her VCR clock go dark as a human-shaped shadow slid across the screen. In that rented Memphis condo, the air learned her name: pressure on the stairs, a corner that felt occupied, and a blinding burst of white filled with a thousand screaming voices—and a man in a brimmed hat shouting louder than them all.

Sometimes he came as full height; sometimes as slices of shadow that slid between shelves. Always off-center. Always watching. Was he omen, traveler, parasite—or simply a presence that feeds on being noticed?

He doesn’t ask to enter. He waits for you to look.
