The new house was supposed to be a fresh start for Thomas. A place to rebuild. But he couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. He kept the curtains drawn, even on sunny days. He jumped at every noise. His appetite vanished and he started taking naps during the day. He tried to ignore the subtle details that now seemed significant, like the strange stain on the living room carpet. The discovery of the house's past had created a shadow over his present, making him feel like he was inhabiting someone else’s nightmare. He found himself drawn to the kitchen, where he would repeatedly check the stove and the taps.
