Chapter 1 - The First Night

Darren had always liked silence.

After years of city noise—sirens, shouting, cars screeching at all hours—he welcomed the quiet of his new home. A small, old house at the edge of town, where the only sounds were the wind and the occasional hoot of an owl.

But on the first night, the silence was broken.

At exactly 3:12 AM, a whisper crawled through the darkness.

Soft. Muffled. Just beneath hearing.

Darren stirred in bed, half-awake. He turned over, pulling the blanket tighter. Probably the wind. Probably nothing.

Then he heard it again.

"He's listening."

His eyes snapped open.

The room was dark, the air cold. His ears strained, heart pounding. The whisper had been too close—inside the room.

But when he sat up, there was nothing.

Just his empty bedroom, the door slightly ajar, and the darkness pressing in from the hallway.

Darren swallowed hard, forcing a breath. He was exhausted. Moving had been stressful. Maybe he was just imagining things.

But as he lay back down, turning to face the wall…

Something breathed behind him.

And this time, the whisper was right next to his ear.

"He doesn't know yet."
