“Shadows Behind the Screen”

In the quiet of midnight, struggling novelist Adrian Vale begins writing a new story—only to realize the words on his screen feel disturbingly real. Sentences appear that he doesn’t remember typing, describing sounds inside his apartment walls that he has actually heard. When the manuscript mentions his own name and hints at a secret he tried to forget, fiction and reality begin to merge. As the text changes on its own and a knock echoes from within the wall, Adrian faces a terrifying possibility: He may not be writing the story. The story may be writing him.
