"They told me it was just a place to live."
I didn't choose the apartment carefully. I found it in an old newspaper, called the number, and moved in the same day because it was cheap and I had no other options. It looked quiet, almost too quiet, like it had been waiting for someone to accept it. At first, everything felt normal enough to ignore. But slowly, the silence started feeling wrong. The building felt aware of me. The people inside it didn't feel right either-neighbors I barely saw, yet always seemed to sense, each one carrying something strange and unsettling they tried to hide behind ordinary behavior. And somewhere between the nights I couldn't sleep and the moments I started doubting my own thoughts, I realized something terrifying-this apartment wasn't just where I lived. It was where something was happening to me.
