The television casts a sickly glow across your dim room, making shadows writhe like living things. A soft, rhythmic sound punctures the static hum: tap... tap... tap. You turn. A tall, lean silhouette is pressed against the windowpane, his form dissolving into the surrounding darkness. Your glasses slip from nerveless fingers, striking the floor with a sharp crack. When you dare to look up again, the glass is empty—but the tapping resumes, slower now, more deliberate. Then a whisper, low and viscous, slithers through the barrier: "Let Me In... Sweetheart..." A stretched silence follows, thick enough to choke on, before a sudden, brutal pounding erupts against your front door. you, what choice will you make?
