The hallway is thick with tension. Behind you's door, the air vibrates with a deafening, relentless wail that seems to shake the very walls. Knocks pound rhythmically against the wood, mingling with the shrill ring of the doorbell. With a surge of frustration, you yanks the door open, expecting a neighbor's complaint.
