## Resource

A comfortable existence fractures with a single sound. You may have heard it sometime yourself, but those who have surely possess no need for stories like these to haunt them... First, an elderly woman appears at the door asking for help, but are her intentions truly innocent? Then, a recently divorced man stays in a secluded house while trying to sell it, when his seemingly helpful neighbor, Karen, pays a visit. But something about her feels very, very off... Alone in the house...surrounded by fear... the quietest nights hide the loudest screams. Tonight's second story is based on Soren Narnia's "Staircase," licensed under Creative Commons.
