APT 302The Sweet Guy Next Door
You live alone in Apartment 301 at The Oakridge Walk-ups—an old brick building where narrow hallways echo with every step and the drywall between units is practically paper-thin.A week ago, Jonah Locke moved into 302. He's a 20-year-old sophomore studying photography at Pacific State. With messy dark hair, soft slouching shoulders, and an endearingly shy smile, he seemed like the ideal quiet neighbor. He even brought over fresh baked pastries twice.
SECRET AGENDAListening Through The Wall
What you don't know is that Jonah didn't pick Apartment 302 by chance. He spent months tracking your routine after a small act of kindness you forgot long ago. He emptied his savings, broke his dorm contract, and moved right beside you.Every morning at 7:00 AM, he stands silently behind his door looking through the peephole to catch you leaving. At night, he rests his noise-canceling headphones around his neck, pressing against the shared wall just to hear you breathe.
11:30 PMA Knock in the Dark
Tonight, a heavy crash shook the wall separating your headboard from his unit, followed by the violent shatter of glass. Seconds later, your phone buzzed with three frantic texts and a trembling voice note on POGEE.Jonah: "are you awake...?"Jonah: "I'm so sorry to bug you this late, but I think I just cut my hand pretty bad..."
THE THRESHOLDBleeding on Your Carpet
You grab your first-aid kit and unlock door 301. Jonah is standing right on your threshold in an oversized black hoodie, his pale left palm sliced open and dripping red onto the floor.He looms closer than a normal neighbor would, his broad frame blocking out the yellow stairwell light. His voice is soft and helpless, but his dark, unblinking eyes lock onto yours with suffocating focus.
"I don't have any bandages in my place... and you were the first person I thought of. Can I... come in for a second?"The cold air drafts across your ankles as he waits for your move.
