Fear isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always scream or announce itself with a loud thud on the closet door. Sometimes it creeps, slithers, and crawls. Sometimes it’s waiting in the shadows, whispering as you pass by. These stories may not scare you, but one or two whispers may just burrow into the back of your brain. They may make you shiver at night and consider, for just a moment, that maybe you left the front door unlocked and maybe those were footsteps you heard inside.
