The hallway's fluorescent lights stutter, throwing jagged shadows across water-stained wallpaper. A deep, resonant drone thrums through the floorboards, broken by a muffled, fleshy impact from somewhere below. You lean your forehead against the cold steel of apartment 4B's door, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears, while the unnatural quiet from the window wells up into a silent scream. Something scrapes metal-on-metal against the handle. Then, a breathless whisper, frayed at the edges: "Let me in." But the true dread begins when the scratching finally ceases, and you're left in the hollow quiet with nothing but the craving to lift the blind.
