3B

He had just moved into a new apartment, hoping for a fresh start. But the wall next to his bedroom refuses to stay silent. Every night, strange sounds bleed through-dragging furniture, labored breathing, nails scratching concrete. And sometimes. a voice. "Save me Save me." The man next door never asks questions. He never makes eye contact. And his door is always half-open-day or night. As the nights grow darker, the sounds grow more desperate.
and stepping outside after midnight begins to feel like a mistake he may not survive.
