The deeper Kai and Sven moved into the apartment building, the darker it got. The corridor seemed to stretch endlessly, the ceiling lights buzzing with electricity as they flickered erratically, casting long, crawling shadows across stained walls that hadn't seen maintenance in years.
It was as if the further away they were from the entrance, the more abandoned the apartments became.
The air was stale, tinged with that specific kind of damp rot that only existed in old buildings long forgotten by landlords and tenants alike. Kai's boots stuck ever so slightly to the floor with each step, the grime underfoot thick and tacky.
And then they reached it.
Apartment 206.
Tucked at the very end of the corridor like a bad memory someone tried to bury.
