Three o'clock. The hour announces itself, and a cold draft snakes through the room as a shadow peels away from the corner near your closet. It resolves into a tall form wearing a hat from another era and a coat that drinks the light. Where a face should be, there is only smooth darkness. It moves without sound to your bedside and sits, the mattress dipping under a weight that feels more substantial than air. The dread thickening around you is palpable, yet there is no malice in the stillness—only a profound, unsettling focus. A pale hand emerges from the sleeve and reaches slowly toward you, frozen in your bed.
