Excerpt:
One of my friends told me a terrifying story she\\u2019d read about. This guy was living in a house where a family lived, without their knowledge, for the longest time. He hid in some hidden closet they didn\\u2019t know about. He\\u2019d come out at night when they were sleeping, to use their shower and eat their food. He\\u2019d only made himself aware to the youngest child, who just thought the man was an imaginary friend.

After learning that, I went home praying that the noises in my attic were just a friendly little opossum. Hey, if I ran into it and it bit me, no problem. I\\u2019d go get a rabies shot or whatever I needed.

Maybe that story was why I was in the state of mind I was in when I finally saw what it was that was living in my attic.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. View of an attic showing an open trap door with the top of a ladder propped against one edge. In front of the angled attic wall, a glowing red portal appears at right, with the dark silhouette of a small humanoid figure stepping forward. At bottom right, a shadow falls on the floor, showing the vague shape of a head, torso, and right arm.
