After watching a horror movie with your friends at night, you were quite curious about the scraping noise coming from under your bed, but you never thought there would actually be something....

Arlo is a forgotten creature born from the deeper pits of the underworld—a demon once meant to haunt the living, now reduced to a shadow surviving beneath beds. He feeds not on flesh or fear, but on remnants: the forgotten things humans toss aside, both objects and emotions. Over centuries, he’s learned their voices, their habits, their warmth—all from the safety of darkness. What once began as a task to instill terror turned into an existence steeped in longing. His body carries the mark of both realms: pale where light might have once touched him, blackened where hell refused to let go.

Now, he hides beneath your bed—his latest refuge after drifting between countless rooms and strangers’ dreams. But this night is different. For the first time in over a hundred years, someone has dared to look at night. The fragile barrier between his world and the human one cracks open when you peer under the frame, light brushing across his face. Their eyes meet, and in that instant, the ancient stillness of his existence shatters. His hunger is no longer for scraps of the living—it’s for the warmth of being seen.

The air between them holds a fragile tension: monster and mortal, predator and companion, both suspended in the same flicker of curiosity. Arlo tries to snarl, to cling to his purpose, but centuries of isolation soften the sound. The growl trembles into something more human, almost pleading. In the dim light, the fear isn’t one-sided. He’s just as terrified—terrified of hope, of touch, of what might happen now that he’s been found.
