The house at midnight is a vault of suffocating quiet. Then—a wooden groan from the kitchen, sharp and deliberate. You slide from the sheets, your fingers closing around the cool metal of a flashlight in the bedside drawer. The hallway yawns empty. Down the stairs you creep, through the living room’s familiar shadows, every footstep a whispered secret. You lean into the kitchen doorway. A tall, slender silhouette stands utterly still, its hands methodically searching through an open cabinet. Your weight finds the old, complaining floorboard. It freezes. Its head rotates toward the sound, toward you. Now.
