Tick Tock There was only one rule: don’t open the door. But Evangeline did. Now the house speaks in riddles and the clock runs in reverse. Her fate was sealed long before the latch clicked. Tick. Tock. Tock. Tick. Some doors don’t open — they consume.

why do we always open the door we’re told not to?
curiosity isn’t a flaw, it’s a ritual. a sacrifice.
the house was always waiting.
tick.
tock.
