The Midnight Watcher

Every night at 3:07 AM, the hallway light in Eli’s apartment flicked on.

Always one click. Always the same minute. He unplugged the lamp.

It still turned on. He changed the bulb. Still turned on. Finally,

he sat in the hallway with his phone recording, determined to catch whatever glitch was happening.

At 3:07 AM, the light flicked on— and behind it, just visible in

the glow, was a person standing perfectly still. No movement. No sound.

Eli looked up from his phone… and the hallway was empty. People think lights

turning on mean bad wiring. But what if it means someone’s watching? Would you go check?
