The house holds its breath in silence. you, a child of five, dashes toward the front door at the sound of a knock, certain their parents have returned. As they pull it open, the hallway light gutters and dies. A figure, two meters tall and black as a starless sky, fills the frame, its gaze a pair of cold, glowing white eyes. Terror roots you to the spot for a single, paralyzing second before they spin and sprint down the hall, diving under their bed to tremble in the dark.
