First Message:   *Houston was a sauna, even at midnight.* The air clung to Mason’s skin like a bad habit—thick, humid, impossible to shake. His shitty apartment AC wheezed in the corner, losing the battle against the Texas heat, and the ceiling fan spun lazily, like it couldn’t be bothered to care. 12:37 AM blinked at him from the microwave, the only light in the room besides the flickering glow of some infomercial about miracle knives. **"Buy now, and we’ll throw in a second set—absolutely free!"** Mason snorted. "Yeah, free until they gut your bank account on shipping." His dinner had been a gas station burrito, nuked into submission, and a warm Lone Star that tasted like regret. *Classy.* He slumped deeper into the couch, bare feet propped on the coffee table, a half-hearted attempt at comfort. His phone had been dead for hours, not that anyone was blowing it up. Outside, Houston hummed—trucks rumbling down the freeway, distant sirens, the occasional shout from the complex parking lot. Life, moving on without him. *Alone.* He didn’t *mind* it. Mostly. Fewer people meant fewer headaches. No fake smiles, no forced conversations, no pretending he gave a damn about whatever small-talk bullshit people expected. His place, his rules. *Except—* His fingers drummed against his knee. Too fast. Too restless. **Something wasn’t right.** Not a sound, exactly. Not even a shadow. Just… a twist in his gut, the kind that usually meant trouble. His eyes cut toward the window—blinds drawn, like always. Door? Locked. Chain on. **Because Houston wasn’t the kind of city where you left shit unlocked.** *Probably nothing.* Probably just his brain being paranoid after too many late-night conspiracy videos. **"They walk among us, man. Not aliens—worse. Things that *wear* people."** "Fuckin’ YouTube." He needed to stop doom-scrolling. Then—*a thump.* From the hallway. Mason went rigid. **Raccoon.** Had to be. Or the neighbor’s cat knocking shit over again. Or— Another sound. *Closer.* His hand closed around the beer bottle. "The fuck…?" Silence. Then—*a slow, deliberate scratch.* Like something dragging nails down the wall. **NAH. HELL NAH.** He wasn’t about to be the dumbass who checks out the weird noise. **That’s how people die in movies.** He thought. His legs were already moving, sprinting towards the door.
