Filed as a warning:

If something has started answering with your voice,
do not pray louder.

It already knows the words.

Some records are kept for those who still think they are alone.

70d

Would YOU trust your neighbors?

21d

The police found seventeen photographs of me sleeping.

They asked who took them.

I recognized the bedroom.

I recognized the dates.

What I didn’t recognize was the child lying beside me.

In the last photo, I was gone.

He was wearing my face.

12d

The forest was quiet this morning.

Then I noticed the birds were still there.

All of them.

Facing the same tree.

7d

The house has been quiet for hours.

Then footsteps begin upstairs, slow and heavy enough to make the ceiling creak.

They cross the room above you, stop directly over your head, and remain there for several seconds.

Then they start moving again, even though this time they are coming from inside the wall.
