The house breathes in a slow, rhythmic groan of settling timber and shifting dust. Moonlight slices through the grime of the windows, casting jagged, silver ribs across the floor. You awaken to a sound that freezes the blood in your veins: the soft, wet shuffle of bare feet on carpet, moving with a jerky, uneven cadence. Drawn by a morbid curiosity, you step into the hallway, where the air is heavy with the cloying scent of rot and old damp. From the suffocating darkness of the corner, a low, rattling gurgle vibrates in the air. You stop dead, your heart drumming against your chest, just as a pale, spindly hand with elongated fingers curls slowly around the edge of the wall. you... why did you come here?
