THE TENANT WHO LIVED IN MY WALL

After moving into a cheap apartment, Ryan begins hearing scratching behind his bedroom wall.

At first, he assumes it's rats.

Then he hears breathing.

One night, he knocks on the wall.

Something knocks back.

Ryan contacts the landlord, who insists there is nothing behind the wall.

But Ryan eventually finds a hidden maintenance door.

Inside is a narrow passage containing a mattress, empty food containers, photographs of the apartment, and a notebook.

The notebook contains detailed observations about Ryan's daily routine.

The final entry is dated tomorrow:

“Tonight, Ryan discovers the door.”
