What Was Crashing in the Empty Rooms? | After Midnight

The crashes always sounded real. Sometimes it was a tremendous bang from downstairs. Other nights, she woke convinced that glass had shattered or something heavy had toppled over. She searched the house again and again, but nothing was ever broken, moved, or out of place.

Eventually, she noticed a pattern: it only happened when she was falling asleep or waking up. The idea that her own brain might be creating the sounds was unsettling, but at least it gave her an explanation. Before long, she learned to stay in bed and ignore them.

For a while, that worked.

Then one afternoon, while she was fully awake and putting away groceries, something crashed upstairs.

She went looking for whatever had fallen. Just like every other time, there was nothing there.
