The Whispering Door

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Someone's knocking, but there's no one there.

[00:00:03]Alex froze as he heard the rhythmic tapping on his apartment door for the third night in a row. It wasn't the wind. It wasn't a prank. He had checked the hallway each time, empty. Tonight, he was done ignoring it.

[00:00:16]With trembling fingers, he turned the knob and flung the door open. Nothing.

[00:00:20]Just the faint whiff of roses wafting in.

[00:00:23]But as he turned to close the door, he noticed it. A single muddy footprint on his carpet.

[00:00:28]His heart pounded. That footprint wasn't there before. "Hello?" he called into the silence.

[00:00:34]The lights flickered, and a whisper like leaves brushing the ground filled the room.

[00:00:39]"You let me in." Panic surged as he realized the door wouldn't lock, no matter how hard he pushed.

[00:00:45]By the time he saw the shadow crawling across the ceiling, it was too late.
