The Quiet Apartment
It was ideal for someone starting from scratch. She told herself the creaks were normal, the dim hallway lights just old wiring. However, what gnawed at her was the silence. She had no idea who her neighbors were. Through the thin walls, there are no muffled voices or footsteps above. Not even a dog barking or a door slamming. Just… silence.

Might night horror story

She found it in a dusty little thrift shop tucked between two boarded-up storefronts in a forgotten part of town. The frame was ornate, with twisted vines carved into the wood and faded silver inlay. The shop owner, an old woman with clouded eyes, gave Ellie a strange look as she rang up the purchase.
