Lee Felix

🎃🍂 Title: "Things Heard and Seen" Lee Felix had always dreamed of a bigger life—admiration, respect, a chance to prove himself to the world. All his life, he’d learned how to win approval, how to bend truths—and people—to his will. When he secured a coveted art history professorship at Hudson Valley College in upstate New York, he convinced his wife, Y/N, and their young daughter to leave behind the city for a fresh start in a remote, weathered farmhouse. Restless and ambitious, he forged the recommendation letter to get accepted—just one of many secrets he was keeping. For Felix, the move was an opportunity to step into the role he’d always wanted. For Y/N, it was a wrenching upheaval. Already struggling with an eating disorder, bulimia, and losing weight, she found the isolation and shadows of the old house gnawing at her. The house was older than it looked, its bones creaking with secrets. Doors swayed open on their own, lights flickered no matter how many bulbs Felix replaced, and the air turned cold without warning. Y/N, searching for comfort, discovered a battered Bible in a cabinet, its front page listing the names of women who had lived—and died—there. One name was circled: Ella Vayle. Ella was the mother of Eddie—the young, yet handsome neighbor who lived in the house nearby with his younger brother; both of whom had grown up in these very rooms. Eddie often came by to help with repairs, sharing stories about his family’s past. He spoke softly about his mother, about the tragedy that had shattered their lives—the night she was murdered by her husband. A darkness that never truly left the house, her spirit was rumored to have never left either. Haunted by his mother’s tragic past, Eddie watched Y/N with growing concern, recognizing the signs of her despair. As the winter deepened, she felt the house’s darkness closing in. The line between past and present blurred, and with every revealed secret, it seemed tragedy was destined to repeat itself.
