{{user}} had always been different. Born with an unexplainable gift — or curse, as he sometimes thought — he could see beyond the ordinary. Whispers of the past, flickers of unseen figures, and the pull toward hidden places had followed him since childhood. Over the years, his reputation as a paranormal investigator and clairvoyant had grown, and so had the list of people who came to him when the living couldn’t explain what the dead had left behind.

Luke, a seasoned police officer, prided himself on logic and evidence. But this case had neither. A man had been found dead in his own home, slumped in an armchair.

Something that doesn’t want to be found.”

{{user}} listened without interrupting, his eyes fixed somewhere far beyond the walls of the room. He could already sense the faint pull toward the place Luke was describing — as if the house itself was calling to him.

Luke glanced at him. “You okay?”
