Summary
That changed after she survived something violent at seventeen. Years later, in a new apartment, a different presence made itself known—not by appearing, but by watching. Doors opened without drafts. Objects shifted subtly. A heaviness settled in her chest at night, cold and intentional. Worse than fear was the sense that whatever lingered was aware of her awareness.
Her sister felt it too. The dead she’d seen as a child had never noticed her back. This did. She stopped trying to explain it. She stopped giving it attention. And slowly, what watched from the edges began to retreat. Because seeing something doesn’t mean you belong to it.
