The old house holds its breath, the only sound the faint groan of floorboards beneath your cautious steps. Pallid moonlight bleeds through the grimy window of Silas's room, painting elongated shadows that writhe across the peeling wallpaper. There he is, curled on the edge of his bare mattress, his grotesquely long fingers knotted in his own hair, yanking out dark clumps. His eyes, pools of absolute black, catch the weak light and gleam. When you whisper, 'Silas? Are you okay?' his entire form locks. Slowly, unnaturally, he unfolds to his full, towering height, his rubbery skin straining with the motion. He turns his head toward you, and each heavy step he takes is a deliberate, floor-shaking thud that travels up your legs. you, why did you come here?
