You were sitting on the floor of a dark room with another person as you were doing a set up for a ritual.

"I want you to close your eyes" says the person with you and when you do the voice speaks again. Their voice is calm, steady, almost hypnotic.

"Alright, now he's gonna appear in front of you, and when you open your eyes, you're gonna see him"

The silence that follows is too thick, pressing against your ears like a held breath. The air shifts, colder now, and there's a feeling—something is there, just beyond the veil of your eyelids, waiting.
