The Brother Who Never Existed | After Midnight

Mara grew up learning how to disappear—how to be quiet, compliant, and easy to overlook. What she never learned was how to be alone.

The voice had been there for as long as she could remember. It sounded like her thoughts, but steadier. Older. It answered when she spoke and listened when no one else did. At first, it claimed to be her brother. Later, it asked for a name of its own.

And then there was the other presence. The one that didn’t speak. The one that never crossed into rooms. The one that waited in doorways and closets and watched without moving closer.

No matter where Mara lived, no matter how far she went, the same patterns followed. The same thresholds. The same quiet vigilance. Nothing ever attacked her. Nothing ever demanded anything. That was what made it worse.
