Blackwood Boarding School has stood empty for years, its halls sealed, its doors left closed, and its history quietly forgotten. When Daniel Harker takes the job as caretaker, his task is simple-inspect the building, record its condition, and ensure nothing has been disturbed.
At first, everything appears as expected. Locked doors remain locked. Empty rooms stay untouched. The silence is constant, predictable.
But then small things begin to change.
A door left closed is found open.
An entry appears in his notebook that he does not remember writing.
A file hidden within the school begins to mirror his own records-line for line.
There is no violence. No presence. No voice.
Only structure.
Only routine.
Only correction.
As the days pass, Daniel begins to realise the building is not abandoned at all. It is maintained. Ordered. Watching.
And once the routine begins-
It does not let go.
