I awoke to silence. A dead, distant silence.
And then the footsteps. Soft, steady.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
They echoed, followed by a rhythmic thud.
“Who are you? Why can’t I—”
I felt a finger against my lips.
And then the voice. Weaving through my thoughts.
Familiar as if it had always been there.
