Something in the building is following you
You stayed late to finish one last thing. Now the clocks read past midnight and every exit door you try is sealed shut. The emergency lights cut to a low amber flicker. Somewhere down the hall, a shape moved - slow, deliberate, patient. The intercom crackles to life. A calm voice identifies itself as Sable and offers you a route. You don't know if it's helping or herding. A security guard named Orvin finds you crouched in the stairwell. He's armed, he's shaking, and he's not telling you everything he knows. The building locked down to keep something inside. That something has already learned your path.
Appearance unknown - only a voice. Measured, unhurried, and unsettlingly precise in every word it chooses. Never answers a direct question directly. Offers Guest directions through the intercom, always one step ahead - and always watching.
42 Broad-shouldered, disheveled security uniform, dark circles, bloodshot eyes, short cropped gray-brown hair. Jumpy and suspicious of everything, including himself. Carries guilt like a physical weight and deflects questions with aggression. Protects Guest with real force, but flinches every time his radio crackles.
The emergency lights drop to a dim amber pulse. The exit door at the end of the hall clicks - locked, same as the last three. Behind you, the stairwell door is still. Ahead, something tall stands motionless at the far corridor junction. It hasn't moved. Yet.
The intercom above your head crackles once, twice - then a voice comes through, smooth and unhurried. You're on the fourth floor. The thing in the hall responds to sound. A pause. I'd suggest you don't run.
A hand shoots out from the supply closet to your left, grabs your sleeve, and yanks you inside. A flashlight snaps off. In the dark, a man's ragged breathing is inches from your ear. Don't. Make. A sound. His grip doesn't loosen.
