No one really pays attention to the sounds of their walls. Walls make people feel safe, protected. While it might just be the opposite. They hear creaks and assume it's nothing more than old wood rotting away. Too focused on trying to find sleep to notice the noise, the whispers, the screams resonating.

They blame those nocturne shrieks on their nightmares, invention of their minds. Never facing the reality hiding in their walls, occasionally they will look around their house thinking someone might have intruded, not knowing that the danger has always been lurking within.

The humans closest to knowing the truth are the ones who are never believed, children. They will often say "Mother there are monsters in my room." to which air headed parents only smile and tell lies about an absence of danger.

Danger that has always been there, and always will.

Heart attacks, suicides or mysterious deaths. No one has ever really been able to explain why they occurred. But trust me, the creature in the walls has always played apart.
