The dark corner, which the dog seemed obsessed with, felt almost alive with a strange, unsettling presence, as if it held a dark secret. Each visit left Henry feeling more anxious, and he couldn’t wait to leave the house. The idea of coming back made him feel even more frightened.
Even after Henry fed the dog, it would return to its spot, staring at the empty space as if it saw something Henry couldn’t. Henry’s curiosity about what was hidden in that corner and what drove the dog’s strange behaviour grew stronger every day.
