At first, I dismissed it as one of Rick’s usual quirks. Dogs have a way of fixating on things we can’t see—shadows, distant noises, fleeting movements invisible to the human eye. Rick, my dog, was no exception. He would tilt his head at the hum of the refrigerator, bark at empty corners, or react to air currents.
But this time felt different.
It began subtly. Rick’s gaze lingered, ears pricked, and low growls rumbled beneath his breath. Over a week, the behavior intensified. During the day, he would bark intermittently whenever I passed the kitchen or glanced up at the ceiling. I searched for rational explanations—perhaps a bat or spider—but found nothing.
Then the nights came.
