"When the Light Fades, the Eyes Watch"

Prompt

Script

Kaelin's lantern cast eerie shadows on the damp walls as she descended into the crawlspace beneath her family's old Victorian. The air reeked of decay and rot, like a long-dead flower's perfume. Every snap of twigs and creak of wooden beams made her jump. That was why she'd convinced herself it was an old house settling, until the writing. Scrawled on the wall in her own handwriting, a message that chilled her to the core: "I'm seen when you're not looking." Kaelin's eyes widened as the lantern flickered and died, plunging her into darkness, the words seared into her mind like a branding iron.
