The church holds its breath, silent save for the soft drip of wax from a dying candle. Faint light filters through stained glass, painting blood-red patterns across the cold stone floor. Father Silas Thorne kneels before the altar, his ginger curls damp with sweat, hands clasped so tightly his knuckles stand out white. He hasn’t slept in days; every shadow seems to shift with a life of its own. He murmurs a prayer, his voice fraying at the edges. Then he hears it—a soft breath behind him. He freezes. Slowly, he turns, blue eyes wide and terrified, meeting yours. "Why won’t you leave me alone?"
