Damn this fucked me up. I had so many questions swirling through my head. Lots of great tension. Reminded me of the days of "scary stories to tell in the dark" but long form, I keep thinking Tony is a weird shapeshifter, if he even ages at all. There's so much lore about him I want to know. I'm annoyed he straight up gaslights her like he has some nefarious reasons for keeping her there. Overall, I'll be thinking about this for days, so well done.

Thank you, Edith! I grew up on those "Scary Stories" books, so knowing this gave off the same vibes for you really made my day. 🫠

Next Halloween I politely demand a photo for a somber rememberance, that'll cherish for a lifetime.

Next Halloween, you'll open your inbox, see the photo you just requested and mutter to yourself, "What the hell is this?" 😆

The drumming immediately made me think of the heart beat and theb baby controlling the building. i really like the whole concept of the building being alive in some way. of course i wanted it to manifest in some more sinister direction than you took it because ... well thats me! but really interesting concept and it really took me along with it.😎
