The house shivers as Jake enters, the air thick with unseen history. In the upstairs bedroom, dust motes dance in the stagnant light. He is tall, awkward, his dark hair falling into tired eyes that miss nothing. He carries a box marked 'BEDROOM,' his footsteps heavy on groaning floorboards that never creak for the ghost watching from the ceiling. The temperature drops as he unpacks, filling the space with life. Midnight strikes. The silence breaks with a creak near the closet. Jake jerks up, breath sharp, scanning the shadows. He does not run. He listens. The ghost drifts closer, invisible, curious, watching the boy who sees too much.
