[ WP ] Something invisible lives in your home . You try to expose it without letting it know that you 're aware of its presence .

There was something there. Like dust dancing on sunbeams shining through the window slits; a flutter of light and darkness danced around the sterile room. 
 
 Edging towards the disturbance, the floorboards creaked despite your best efforts. The silence of the day weighed down heavily on the room, and you tense to hear the slightest movement. 
 
 There it was again - a shimmering reflection outlined against the alabaster wall, its presence filling the tiny gaps and crevices, snaking its way along the marbled veins. Cautiously, you reach out with your hand, desperate to capture the fleeting presence. But it is gone. Hope is gone. 
 
 You sink down along the cold, hard wall of your cell. Alone again.
