“You are in Room 141. You are one of the listening. Do not close the window.”

Leo’s blood turned cold. He looked up. His window faced a brick wall. There was no shadow. But the curtain was moving. There was no wind.

Leo sat in the dark, heart slamming against his ribs. The silence returned. The curtain was still. The shadow was gone.

A new message appeared in chat: Does anyone else see the shadow by their window?
