Watch out.
I’m going to tell you about something, and then . . . you’ll know. You won’t be able to un-know or forget why you should want to. And even if you decide you don’t believe it now, you’ll still have thought about it long enough to make that call, so it’ll still be too late. Because now it knows you know, it’ll be able to find you. To home in on you.
Just like it did with me.
Sometimes, a door is enough, open or otherwise. Or an empty moment, an empty page.
An empty head.

Languorous Lass:
Just finished this one. I’m not usually a fan of we-called-the-evil-to-us stories, but this one creeped me right out. I think in part it was because I identified with Kris—the line about nearly kissing Leah out of habit when she woke Kris up. Mostly, though, it was because this was a fresh variation on the concept, at least to me. Nice work by Gemma Files. I also thought Nika Harper did an effective job of reading / performing.
Thanks to Bdoomed for posting this thread so quickly! I love being able to comment as soon as I finish a story.

I'm not a fan of "and you too, dear reader" endings to horror stories since they just make me think of (bad) Creepypastas, but in the context of a story about a tulpa it makes sense.

I think we need to hire that narrator again. She was incredible.
