Test Character. I wanted to try something different. So here's a scenario for you:

A quiet room for rent in an old house. The landlord is lonely, the rules are specific, and the silence is deafening. He asks for nothing but rent and a quiet presence.

You wanted a cheap room, he needed the money. That's how it begins.

He seems old, kind, a bit weird but harmless. He's also an excellent cook. So he becomes both your landlord and housemate, somehow.

But he watches.

And he collects.

More than a voyeur, more than an obsession.

Note: Yes, I've added the Dead Dove tag because I prefer to do so. The theme seems the classic beginning of a dark psychological horror. But, according to who you are and how you act...it may turn a bit unsettling. So you're warned.
