Old folklore gets wonderfully disturbing when you realise how many rules were basically:
Don’t answer it. Don’t follow it. Don’t invite it inside. Don’t tell it your name.
Which, naturally, makes me want to know what happens when you do.

CW: Body horror, parasites, worms
I woke up because something was crawling across my arm.
Tiny pale worms covered my skin.
I brushed them off.
More pushed through the pores underneath.
By the time I reached the bathroom mirror, they had started moving toward my eyes.

I’ve realised that monsters rarely scare me.
Give me an empty hallway, a familiar room that suddenly feels slightly wrong, or the sense that something happened there before I arrived.
That gets under my skin far more easily.

My neighbour waved at me from his kitchen window this morning.
I waved back without thinking.
Then I remembered standing at his funeral last Tuesday.
His hand slowly dropped.
For a few seconds, neither of us moved.
Then he closed the curtains.
They’ve stayed closed all day.
Tonight, there’s a light on behind them.

You wake up at 3:17 a.m.
Someone is standing in your bedroom doorway.
They look exactly like you.
They smile and say, “Good. You’re still here.”
If one of you has to leave before sunrise, which one deserves to stay?

The woman across the street has been staring into my window every night.
Same chair. Same window. Never moving.
Tonight, I finally waved.
She didn’t wave back.
She slowly raised one hand and pointed behind me.
I turned around.
Nothing.
When I looked back at her window, the chair was empty.
Someone knocked on my bedroom door.
