Sleep offers no safety here.
When a woman finds herself standing outside her own body, slumped in the creaking chair beneath her cedar-scented throw, she knows something is wrong-but not just wrong... warped. The house doesn't breathe; it suffocates. The wallpaper curls inward, the wind screams with fists, and the silence carries weight. Her dog, Petunia, senses it first. The growl, the bark, the relentless pacing-all warnings.
But it's already inside.
The tapping starts-soft, rhythmic, calculating. Then scratching. Then shattering glass and the sound of reality collapsing inward. The room bends. The hallway vanishes into black. And behind her, something ancient presses against the veil.
This isn't just a dream. It's a breach. And she's not alone in the house anymore.
When the window explodes and her dog risks everything to protect her, she's forced to choose: stay and surrender... or bleed her way to freedom.
But freedom isn't clean. It's torn skin and blood-soaked arms. It's ancient rot and the scent of something buried in silence. It's running from a house that no longer knows her name-but still remembers her shape.
Because some things don't need doors to get in.
And when night falls, the tapping returns.
Still.
Waiting.
