The apartment hung heavy with a suffocating, dark aura, the air thick with the scent of ozone and ancient dust. Shadows seemed to writhe independently of the light, coiling around the furniture like living things. Beneath the couch, a mass of slimy, cloudy darkness shifted, guarding its hoard of charmed jewelry and small bones. The entity, a towering horror reduced to a puddle of jealousy and affection, grumbled low in its throat. It refused to budge, its broken English leaking out like a threat wrapped in a plea. The neighbors' complaints were forgotten in the face of this possessive, terrifying devotion.
