@fatheroffreddles / watch me create a whole au based on this starter lmao
the house feels different , without evan . quiet . tense . michael’s footsteps as he walks through the halls sound too loud , and he winces as a floorboard creaks beneath him .
evan’s room has been unentered since the / accident / , to michael’s knowledge . it sits conspicuously at the end of the hall , mocking michael in its apparent plainness .
a noise comes from inside the room , and michael freezes , before moving quickly to the door . he opens it without bothering to knock . his father is out of the house , which means whatever is making the noise must be an / intruder / .
