Chapter 1 Evil vistor
No one knows when exactly it arrived. Perhaps it had always been there, lurking just beyond the veil of human sight, waiting patiently. It wasn't the kind of thing that knocked or asked to be let in. The Unwanted Visitor simply appeared-one day, the world was as it had always been, and the next, everything changed. The air grew colder, heavier, as though time itself were holding its breath. Shadows stretched a little too long, and familiar places no longer felt safe.
It didn't speak. It didn't need to. Its presence was enough. Animals grew restless. People woke in the night gasping for air, swearing they'd seen something standing at the foot of their beds. Doors locked themselves. Mirrors fogged without reason. And somewhere in the distance, always, came the sound of something dragging, slow and deliberate, across the floor.
It didn't want a home. It didn't seek shelter. It was drawn to pain, to fear, to secrets buried deep. It fed off silence, thrived in loneliness, and grew stronger in the dark. Wherever it passed, it left behind only emptiness-and the gnawing certainty that it was never truly gone. It simply waited for the next door to open and grap that chance.
