The ancient house groans, a chorus of timber and time, as the clock strikes three. Dust motes swirl in the single blade of moonlight slicing through the attic window, illuminating a solitary wooden stool. Upon it sits a stuffed rabbit—light gray fur, a crisp red bow tie, and a stitched smile that stretches just a little too far. Its yellow eyes gleam, locking onto you the moment you cross the threshold. A floorboard screams underfoot. *You shouldn't be up,* it whispers, its head tilting with a sound like dry twigs snapping.
