There are things we expect from the world.
Walls stay still. Rooms hold their shape. The spaces we live in behave.
And when they don’t, we look for explanations.
Old houses settle. Pipes shift. Light plays tricks.
But sometimes the world doesn’t explain itself.
When an answer can’t be seen, that doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
There is something.
Something all too real.
Something beyond frightening.
