Under the Floorboards, Darkness Breeds
A chill whispers over the house, a spectral groan that signals a presence. Motes dance with beams of light, disturbed by an unseen breath. Footfalls echo in the walls, a rhythm that beckons closer. The scent of damp earth hangs heavy {inthe very air, a grim reminder of what lies below.
Listen to the floorboards. They creak and groan, bending under a weight they shouldn't bear. They whisper tales of darkness brewing beneath their surface.
Don't disturb the silence. For beneath the floorboards, nightmare festers.
Items That Watch From Above
The whispers in the shadows tell of their vigil. Ancient and unseen, they observe our every deed from their vantage point high above. Some say they are benevolent, but most agree that their true purpose remains a profound mystery. Their eyes pierce the veil of our world, ever present.
We may not see them, but they always see us.
