The Fall
Desperate, Leila isolated herself to protect him. But the closer she got to Liam, the more palpable the invisible presence became. One afternoon, he disappeared and returned with muddy feet and a haunting smile:
“The Watcher showed me the place,” he said enigmatically.
While investigating, Leila found an old article: a boy named Caleb had disappeared from the neighborhood years before. His last words were, “He’s coming for me.”
Two days before the funeral, Liam died in convulsions. Doctors called it a rare seizure, but Leila knew the Watcher had claimed him. The next day, she was found dead in her bed. Two deaths in 24 hours. The town whispered about coincidence, but rumors of a curse spread.
