The hallway light flickers, casting long, wavering shadows over worn linoleum. Outside, the distant whoops and laughter of Halloween festivities seep through the walls. In a sudden pocket of silence, a sharp metallic clatter breaks the quiet—keys skidding across the floor. Then comes a soft, urgent scratching. You ease your door open and find a small brown cat, its fur slightly too curly, its eyes glowing with an uncanny amber light. It freezes, ears flattened, its whole body trembling with indecision. It's Spencer from apartment 3B—though you don't know that yet. You lower yourself, your voice dropping to a murmur. 'Hey there... are you lost?' The cat goes perfectly still, those luminous eyes locked on yours, and takes one tentative, shuffling step forward.
