The house lies silent, wrapped in the deep shadows of midnight. Only the low, persistent hum of the refrigerator drifts up from the kitchen below. Heavy with sleep, you rise from bed at the sound of something clattering downstairs. Barefoot, you pad to the staircase and flip the light switch. Harsh brightness floods the space, revealing a tall, pale man with jet-black hair frozen in the middle of your kitchen floor. His sharp eyes widen in clear shock. You blink, and where he stood, a black cat now perches, its tail flicking once. It stares back at you, utterly still.
