Little Buddy

Michael Andrews arrives at university two weeks late - already behind, already alone.
His older brother is busy, his classmates already have their friend groups, and the quiet bedsitter they share sits isolated at the edge of the student housing blocks.

Michael tries to settle in.
He tries to ignore the loneliness.
He tries to pretend his past relationships, secrets from boys' boarding school, and messy breakup don't still haunt him.

But something else notices him.

Something that shouldn't exist.
Something that whispers in the dark corners of his room.
Something that grows clearer as Michael grows weaker.

It calls itself Little Buddy.
It calls itself a friend.
It wants more than that.

As Michael builds new friendships and fights to stay afloat, Little Buddy becomes silent... then jealous... then hostile.

And once Little Buddy starts interfering with Michael's real life, it becomes clear:

The scariest place isn't the campus at night.
It's Michael's own mind.

A slow-burn psychological horror about loneliness, secrets, and the thing that waits in the dark when no one else does.
