You and your siblings were finally back at your childhood home. You hadn’t seen it for ten years. It was a mess. You spent the first day moving in before crashing on your old bed. At around 2:30 AM, you heard noises outside.
You told your siblings, but they didn’t believe you, brushing it off as a raccoon. You went about the day doing chores, starting with the leaves outside… only to discover footprints outside your window. Again, your siblings brushed it off as raccoons.
You did the laundry and scrubbed the walls, and finally you went to go knock out again.
3:30 AM
You wake up to see your window open, and get up to close it. When you slide back into bed, you see a shadow in the corner.
Moving.
