Returning home, Jared attributes his experience to one of being tired and stress. Calling a friend over, he hopes that maybe he shouldn't be along, little does he know since his otherworldly visit, he never was.

Dan used to be the perfect roommate—until he locked himself in his room and stopped coming out. Now, he only talks to me through the door at night, his voice hollow and strange. Scratching sounds echo from inside, and sometimes, I hear him whispering things that don’t make sense. Then one night, I found deep claw marks on the door… from the inside. I should have left, but I had to know the truth. When I finally forced the door open, the room was empty—except for the gouges in the walls and a pile of Dan’s clothes, soaked in something dark. And from behind me, a whisper: “I told you not to open it.”

Mom never sleeps until we do. She sits in the hallway every night, silent and still, watching over us with tired, unblinking eyes. No matter how late it gets, she won’t close her eyes until we’re asleep—but it’s not to keep us in bed. It’s to keep something else out. Sometimes, in the dead of night, I catch her whispering under her breath, her gaze locked on the shadows at the end of the hall. I used to think it was just a habit… but now I know better.

The tenants of Greystone Apartments were not like ordinary neighbors. They moved too quietly, spoke in hushed, knowing whispers, and watched with eyes that seemed too hollow, too aware. Mrs. Holloway stood frozen in her window every night, staring blankly at the street below. Mr. Fischer shuffled through the hallways at odd hours, muttering things that made no sense. And the twins from 1A lurked in the stairwell, their pale faces expressionless, their stares lingering too long. They didn’t welcome newcomers—only watched, waited, and whispered warnings that came too late.

The mural on the Harper building was a living nightmare, never the same from one day to the next. Sometimes it showed serene landscapes, other times eerie, twisted scenes that felt too real. No one ever saw it being painted, yet it changed overnight—always shifting, always watching. And no matter what it depicted, there was always something hidden within the brushstrokes, a shadow in the background, a figure just out of focus. The mural didn’t just capture scenes; it revealed secrets—secrets no one wanted to see.

Mr. Blake was different from the others. He had tired eyes that darted nervously around the room, a shaky voice that never quite found its confidence, and the unmistakable weight of someone who didn’t belong. Unlike the other teachers—perfect, emotionless, and eerily precise—he made mistakes, fumbled with his chalk, and sometimes forgot what he was saying mid-sentence. There was a quiet desperation in the way he carried himself, as if he knew his time was running out. And when he spoke, it was with a cautious edge, like he was always afraid of being overheard.

Margaret Ellis was a slender woman with an old-fashioned grace, always dressed in modest, vintage clothing that seemed out of place in the modern world. Her dark hair was neatly pinned back, and her pale face carried a distant, melancholic expression. Her gray eyes, though kind, held an unsettling emptiness, and her polite smile never quite reached them. There was something strangely cold about her presence, as if she belonged to a different time—her soft, measured voice and delicate movements making the air around her feel unnaturally still.

The day started out normal enough for an elementary student. Little did I know that my whole world was about to come crumbling down around me. At age nine I was a very bright child who loved to read. Fairy tales and stories of magic were my favorite. I believed anything was possible as long as you truly believed. That however was the day that I learned even more than I wished to believe that world could be a hard and cruel place. Sadly, my story isn't one of hope or happiness. My story begins several days before everything in my world turned dark and crumbled around me.
