In a house long abandoned by life, a lonely ghost named Thomas lingers, yearning for someone to see him. When a new family moves in, Thomas's desperation to be noticed grows, leading him to haunting attempts that escalate in intensity. Yet no matter what he does-knocking over objects, making eerie noises-the family remains oblivious, dismissing his presence as nothing more than a trick of the old house. As Thomas's isolation deepens, he begins to wonder if ghosts, rather than haunting out of malice, are simply searching for connection, yearning to be seen. A chilling and poignant reflection on loneliness, this short story redefines the nature of hauntings and the hidden desires of those who dwell in the shadows.
