ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou can’t remember the last time you slept properly. One morning you discover three days of missed calls, blood on your shirt and a receipt from a city you’ve never been to—and Tyler casually tells you, “You had a busy weekend.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑProject Mayhem gives you one final assignment. You’re told it’s about proving your loyalty, and everyone watches while you hesitate—until Tyler puts a hand on your shoulder and reminds you of the first rule you ever agreed to. You don’t get to leave.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou start changing without noticing it: skipping work, lying to friends, stealing, fighting strangers. One night you catch your reflection in a bathroom mirror, covered in blood, and suddenly realize you don’t recognize the person looking back.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou sit at a bar with Tyler while he explains that everyone older than you is pretending they have life figured out. You laugh along until an older businessman at the next table recognizes Tyler—and suddenly Tyler is talking to him like they’ve been planning something together for months.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wake up in Tyler’s room after a night you barely remember, Marla asleep beside you and Tyler already gone. She looks at you and asks, “Do you know where you were last night?” You don’t—and she does.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou desperately try to sleep in your apartment, but the city outside never stops moving. At 4:00 a.m., someone knocks on your door. When you open it, Tyler is standing there with a suitcase: “We’re leaving.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou get dragged into your first real fight at the club and come out laughing, bleeding and completely exhilarated. Then everyone around you starts chanting your name—and for the first time, you understand why people keep coming back.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou start fighting because Tyler tells you it’s the only time you actually feel alive. Soon you’re fighting every night, following every order, and waking up with bruises you don’t remember getting—until you realize you’ve stopped deciding when you fight.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑTyler gives you a list of instructions and tells you not to ask questions. You spend the night spray-painting buildings, stealing chemicals and leaving anonymous messages around the city, feeling invincible—until you realize you’ve been doing exactly what you swore you’d never become.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑA rich businessman humiliates you at a hotel bar, so Tyler tells you to follow him outside. You expect a fight. Instead, Tyler whispers something into his ear that makes the man’s smile disappear—because apparently Project Mayhem already knows everything about him.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou begin noticing the same strange men everywhere: on the subway, outside your office, at the laundromat. Nobody seems concerned when you mention it—because everyone already knows about Project Mayhem except you.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wake up in the Paper Street house with no memory of arriving there. Everyone calls you by a name you don’t recognize, Tyler insists you’ve been there for weeks, and when you finally look through your own phone, there isn’t a single photograph of you anywhere.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑMiranda leaves for the afternoon and the office immediately starts falling apart. You end up coordinating a fitting, finding a missing sample, calling a designer in Milan and fixing Miranda’s dinner reservation—and by five o’clock, you realize you somehow became the person everyone comes to when Miranda isn’t there.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑA young designer you’ve been helping suddenly gets invited to show at Fashion Week and starts treating everyone around her like they’re beneath her. You watch her dismiss Nigel’s advice and insult one of Miranda’s editors—until Miranda appears behind her and asks, “Do you know who you’re speaking to?”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAfter months of becoming exactly what Runway expects you to be, you finally get the promotion you’ve been chasing. The money is better, the clothes are better, everyone knows your name—but when you see another terrified new assistant rushing into the office with coffee for Miranda, you recognize the look on her face. It’s the same look you had.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou get sent backstage during a major fashion show with instructions to retrieve one specific dress. Models, photographers, editors and designers swarm around you while Miranda watches from the front row—and you realize that finding the dress is the easy part.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou finally stop dressing like the nervous girl who walked into Runway on her first day. You walk into the office in a look Nigel helped you put together, head held high, and even Emily gives you a reluctant once-over. Then Miranda arrives, looks at you for half a second and says, “Interesting.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou arrive at Runway wearing the one outfit you thought was finally good enough. Miranda looks you up and down once, says nothing, and walks away—five minutes later, Nigel quietly tells you that she’s decided you’re coming to Paris.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou finally get your Runway wardrobe right: designer shoes, perfect coat, expensive handbag, the whole transformation. Walking through Manhattan afterward, you catch your reflection in a shop window and barely recognize yourself—until your phone rings and Miranda’s assistant says, “She needs you upstairs. Now.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou make one tiny mistake with Miranda’s schedule and spend the entire day trying to fix it before she notices. By midnight, you're hiding in the Runway supply room eating takeout, shoes kicked off, laughing with another assistant about how ridiculous your life has become—until the elevator doors open down the hall.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou get invited to one of Runway’s most exclusive parties and spend the entire night pretending you aren’t completely starstruck. Then a famous actress recognizes you as Miranda’s assistant and asks you to get her something—suddenly you’re surrounded by people who assume you have the power to make things happen.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou arrive in Manhattan for your first week at Runway with a tiny apartment, one suitcase and absolutely no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into. By Friday, you’re drinking champagne at a fashion party surrounded by designers and celebrities—wondering when exactly your ordinary life disappeared.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou refuse to let Miranda make you cry during your first week at Runway. Instead, you calmly tell her that you won’t be staying late for something she could have asked you to do three hours ago—and the entire office goes silent because nobody talks to Miranda like that.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou spend the morning organizing Miranda’s schedule, only to discover she’s invited a very particular society woman to the office. Miranda expects you to know her name, history, preferences and favorite designer without ever having met her.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou barricade yourself inside an abandoned motel room and finally allow yourself to believe you might survive until morning. Then someone begins knocking on the door. Three slow knocks. You don’t answer. A second later, Dollface begins knocking from inside the bathroom.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wake up in the Venus hospital after surviving the attack that killed your friends, convinced the worst is finally over. Then the lights go out, your phone loses reception, and when you look through the glass doors of the ward, Scarecrow is standing at the end of the hallway with his axe.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou finally make it back to the cabin where the whole nightmare started, thinking the killers won’t return to the scene of their first attack. You lock every door, close every curtain and crawl beneath the bed. Then you hear the front door open. Slow footsteps cross the room, and Scarecrow quietly says, “I know you’re in here.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou run through the woods with a stolen shotgun, hearing Scarecrow’s footsteps gaining behind you. You finally turn, fire, and watch him disappear into the trees—only to hear the familiar heavy footsteps coming from directly in front of you.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou steal a sheriff’s patrol car and tear down the empty Oregon highway, convinced you’ve finally outrun them. Then you see Dollface sitting perfectly still in the back seat in your rearview mirror—even though you locked the car before you left.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou steal a car belonging to someone who stopped to help you, knowing you’ll have to leave them behind. You get three miles down the road before the engine dies—and when you look into the darkness beyond the headlights, Scarecrow is standing there, waiting for you to get out.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑA local man takes you into his house, gives you dry clothes and tells you that you’re safe. When you wake from a short sleep, the house is silent—and every bedroom door has been left open except yours, where Dollface is sitting on the floor outside.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou keep seeing Pin-Up Girl everywhere: at the end of the road, between the trees, reflected in shop windows, standing beneath a streetlamp. Every time you turn around she’s gone—until you realize she’s not following you, she’s actually herding you somewhere.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and another survivor hide beneath a bed while Pin-Up Girl searches the room above you. His hand finds yours in the darkness and you both stay completely still—until his fingers suddenly tighten around yours. You look at him, and he’s already dead.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou hide inside the horse barn during a thunderstorm, listening to someone slowly walking between the stalls. You think it’s Scarecrow until you see Pin-Up Girl’s crossbow bolt punch through the wooden wall beside your head.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou find a farmhouse where an elderly woman promises to hide you until morning. She bandages your wounds while you hear rain tapping against the windows—then a crossbow bolt suddenly tears through the glass, and the woman falls across your lap.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou reach the diner desperate for help, but everyone suddenly stops talking when you walk through the door. The waitress stares at you, then quietly asks, “Is Tamara here?”—before you notice the three masks reflected in the diner window behind her.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your ex would come back and never leave you again. He returns exactly as you remember him, loving, affectionate and completely devoted—except every time you try to break up with him, he simply doesn’t understand what you’re saying.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your jealous boyfriend would never be able to control you again. He loses the ability to tell you what to do—but the Willow transfers that control to you. Now every command you accidentally give him is something his body physically forces him to obey.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish that nobody could ever hurt you again. The next morning, everyone who has ever threatened you is found dead—except you. Then you realize the Willow didn’t make you invincible. It simply removed everyone it considered capable of hurting you.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your dying grandmother could live forever. She stops aging that very night. Years later, she is still sitting in the same chair, still perfectly alive, while everyone she has ever loved is buried around her—and now she refuses to let you grow old either.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish to become so famous that nobody could ever forget you. It works. Everyone knows your face. Everyone remembers your name. But then you discover the horrifying part: you can no longer die, because the world cannot forget someone who is dead.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish the Willow would tell you who your soulmate is. A photograph appears beside your bed showing you with the man you’re destined to marry. You recognize him immediately, because he’s your father.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your parents would finally stop fighting and become the happy family they used to be. They do. They laugh, cook together, kiss, and act like nothing ever happened—except neither of them remembers that you are their daughter.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish the girl dating the guy you love would leave him forever. She does. She disappears without a trace, and he becomes so obsessed with finding her that he stops seeing you at all.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish the man who cheated on you would never be able to hurt another woman the way he hurt you. He suddenly becomes incapable of lying, cheating or even looking at another woman. Unfortunately, the Willow interprets another woman literally—and now every woman he comes near dies.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your abusive mother would never be able to hurt you again. She can’t—because the Willow makes it so that whenever she tries to touch you, her own body takes the injury instead.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your married lover would choose you over his wife. He comes to your house that night with a suitcase, kisses you, and says he’s finally yours. Then you notice the blood on his shirt.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wish your crush would fall desperately in love with you. He does, but the Willow takes “desperately” literally: he starts rearranging his entire life around you, then begins eliminating anyone he thinks might take you away.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou’re in the backseat laughing while Fuller uses the CB to flirt with a trucker under a fake name. You take over and make the voice even more convincing. A trucker answers, “Cute voice, sweetheart. What mile marker are you at?” Nobody in the car is laughing anymore.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou convince Lewis to take the next exit just to race another car down an empty stretch of interstate. Fuller calls it stupid. You call it fun. Then the other car disappears around a bend—and a few seconds later, its driver comes flying past you in a panic, screaming over the CB that someone is chasing him.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAfter hours of driving, everyone is exhausted and nobody is talking. You watch the endless highway through the window while Lewis keeps checking the rearview mirror. Then a truck slowly pulls alongside you. Rusty doesn’t ram you. He simply drives beside you, smiling through his windshield.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou stop at a deserted roadside diner after midnight. While Lewis fills the tank, you notice a truck parked across the highway—engine running, headlights off. Nobody is inside. When you return to the car, the CB crackles: “You can keep driving. I ain’t in a hurry.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou finally manage to lose Rusty and pull into an abandoned motel. The three of you barricade the door and try to laugh about the whole thing. Then the CB inside the motel room crackles. Rusty tells you exactly what room you’re in.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and Fuller start joking with a group of teenagers over the CB, pretending you’re famous criminals being chased across the country. They think it’s hilarious and ask where you’re headed. You give them your real location without thinking. Hours later, their CB goes silent mid-conversation.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou finally reach a huge neon-lit truck stop packed with drivers, tourists and highway noise. For the first time, you feel safe. You wander through the crowd with Fuller—until you spot the same red truck reflected in the windows of three different buildings. Rusty found you again.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAfter the first encounter with Rusty Nail, you promise Lewis you aren’t leaving the brothers behind. The three of you drive through the night with the CB silent for once. Then Rusty breaks through on the radio: “You kids really should’ve stayed together.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑBy now, you’ve stopped thinking about getting home and started thinking about surviving. You know Rusty’s tricks, his voice, the sound of his engine. You take a back road and think you’ve finally outsmarted him. Then your CB clicks on. “You got better at this.” A pause. “So did I.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou find another trucker at a gas station who agrees to help you escape. For a few miles, his truck shields your car from Rusty. Then there’s a violent impact behind you. The trucker loses control. You look back just in time to see Rusty Nail dragging the wreckage across the interstate.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wake up in the backseat to Fuller shouting that the truck is following you again. Lewis insists he’s imagining it. You look through the rear window and see nothing. Then the CB turns itself on. Rusty Nail’s voice comes through, calm as ever: “Morning, kids.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and Fuller sneak into an all-night roadside diner while Lewis sleeps in the car. It’s almost empty, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. A waitress keeps glancing toward the window. When you ask why, she quietly says, “That truck has been sitting there since you walked in.”
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou discover your partner has been cheating on you throughout the vacation. Instead of confronting them, you smile through breakfast, thank them for the “wonderful trip,” and quietly begin collecting evidence. By the end of the day, you know exactly how you’re going to ruin their life.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou become fixated on a guest you’ve only spoken to twice. You start noticing them everywhere—the pool, the restaurant, the beach, the elevator. Eventually you realize something disturbing: they’ve been following you too.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou become fascinated by a group of wealthy friends who seem to have everything figured out. They invite you onto their yacht for the day, where champagne flows and everyone talks about freedom, success and how lucky they are. By sunset, you realize none of them actually like each other.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou become obsessed with another guest after one intense night together. The problem is that they barely remember it. You keep running into them around the resort, convinced there’s something between you—until you discover they’ve been secretly meeting someone else every night.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou spend your final night on the island at a secluded beach party with the other guests, drinking beneath the stars and pretending none of you ever have to leave. At sunrise, the police arrive at the resort. Someone from the party didn’t make it back.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou meet a beautiful stranger at the hotel bar at midnight, both of you pretending you’re not waiting for someone to notice you. By 2 a.m., you’re sneaking through the resort together—laughing, drinking champagne, and stealing kisses—completely unaware that his wife has been watching from the balcony.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou become close to a guest who suddenly disappears halfway through the vacation. The hotel staff insists she checked out early. Her room has been cleared. Her passport is gone. But while sitting by the pool, you receive a message from her phone: “Don’t trust anyone here.”
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou meet a charming older guest who seems to know everyone at the resort—staff, politicians, businessmen, wives. He buys you dinner, gets you upgraded and tells you stories about his glamorous life. You eventually discover he’s been doing the same thing with three other women staying at the hotel.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and another guest have spent the entire week pretending there’s nothing between you. At the final-night party, one drink turns into dancing, dancing turns into kissing, and suddenly everyone knows. The next morning, his girlfriend is found unconscious in the pool.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou arrive at the resort’s extravagant closing party and discover everyone is competing for the attention of the same billionaire. You decide to play along. By midnight, you’ve stolen someone’s date, exposed someone’s affair and humiliated the hotel owner’s daughter—then the music stops because someone has been found dead on the dancefloor.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou become friends with a mysterious woman staying alone at the resort. Every night she disappears after dinner and returns before sunrise with a different man. One morning, she asks you to help her hide something in your room. You agree—without asking what it is.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou spend the afternoon having a secret affair with another guest while your partners sit together downstairs, completely unaware. That night, you find a hotel key slipped beneath your door. You use it to enter an empty suite—and discover photographs proving someone has been following both of you.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAt seven, you became convinced there was a little girl living beneath your bedroom floor. Every night she scratched three times, then whispered: “Let me up.” Your parents tore the floor apart, but there was nothing there. At Hill House, you hear the three scratches again. You kneel beside the floorboards. A tiny hand slowly pushes through the gap, then another. Then a child’s face emerges from the darkness. It’s your face at seven years old. She smiles, and says: “You finally came back for me.”
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAs a child, you had an imaginary twin who appeared only in mirrors. You called her Lily. She copied everything you did—except she always smiled when you cried. Your parents eventually removed every mirror from the house. At Hill House, you pass an old mirror in the hallway. Lily is there. But she isn’t copying you, she’s standing perfectly still. You raise your hand, she doesn’t. Instead, she presses her palm against the glass, and something presses back from your side.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were nine, you woke one morning to find your entire family standing silently at the end of the hallway, facing the front door. They wouldn’t speak. They wouldn’t move. You blinked—and they were gone. Since then, whenever something terrible is about to happen, The Last Ones appear: pale figures standing together in a doorway, waiting for someone to leave. At Hill House, you see them again. Except this time, there are six of them, and there are only five people staying in the house.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were little, you woke screaming about The Ash Man—a figure standing at the end of your bedroom completely covered in soot, his body still smoking. Your parents blamed nightmares. At Hill House, you smell smoke. You see him standing at the end of the corridor. He doesn’t move toward you. Instead, he slowly raises one blackened finger and points behind you. You turn. The entire hallway is burning. Everyone else sees you standing calmly in an empty corridor.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAs a child, you repeatedly dreamed of your mother drowning in the bathtub. Every time you pulled her out, she was alive again—only to drown again the following night. You eventually stopped dreaming about it. Until Hill House. You hear water running upstairs and find The Drowning Woman sitting fully clothed beneath the bathwater, staring upward through the surface. You pull her out. She disappears. The next night, she’s there again, but now she’s holding your hand beneath the water.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYour childhood nightmare was a woman who lived above your bedroom. Every night you heard her walking across the ceiling. Slowly, back and forth. Your parents told you it was the pipes. Then you moved houses. The footsteps followed. You move again. They follow. Years later, you enter Hill House for the first time. That night, you hear them again. But Hill House has no floor above you. You look up, and the ceiling begins to bow downward beneath the weight of someone walking across it. One footprint, then another. Then a woman’s face slowly presses through the plaster, and she whispers your childhood name.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were a child, The Rain Bride appeared whenever someone in your family was about to die. She stood outside the window in a soaked white dress, her face hidden beneath wet hair. Your family called it a nightmare. At Hill House, rain begins tapping against the windows despite a completely clear sky. She’s standing in the garden. This time, she lifts her head. She has your face. And she’s wearing the dress you wore to a funeral when you were six.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were six, you saw a man standing beyond your family’s garden every night. He wore your father’s coat and carried flowers. Your father had been dead for three years. You called him The Man at the Gate. At Hill House, you see him standing beyond the iron fence again. He raises one hand. You wave. Then he points toward the house. When you turn around, the front door is open. Your dead father is standing inside, holding the same flowers.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou had one recurring childhood nightmare: a little white house sitting alone in an endless field. A girl your age lived inside it and begged you to stay because she was afraid of being alone. You eventually forgot the dream. Hill House hasn’t. On your first night, you open a door that wasn’t there before. Beyond it is The Little House. Your childhood wallpaper. Your childhood bed. Your childhood toys. And the girl is sitting on the floor. She’s still eight years old. You aren’t. She looks up at you and whispers: “You left me here.”
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were eleven, you had an imaginary friend named Elias, who taught you a game called “Disappear.” You would hide somewhere in the house and stay completely silent while he searched for you. One day, he told you: “If you disappear long enough, nobody will remember you.” You never saw him again. At Hill House, you find Elias waiting inside the dumbwaiter, except he’s no longer a child. He’s a tall, impossibly thin man with an empty face, and whenever he touches someone, everyone else in the room immediately forgets they exist. He reaches for you, and your name disappears from the wallpaper.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were seven, you heard footsteps following you whenever the lights went out. Bare feet, small, three steps behind. Your mother told you never to turn around. You never did. At Hill House, the footsteps return. Three steps, pause, three steps. You finally turn. The Barefoot Boy is standing directly behind you. His head is bent at an impossible angle, and he’s wearing the clothes you were wearing the last night you remember being at Hill House.
ᴱᵖⁱˢᵒᵈᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑWhen you were little, you heard a woman singing outside your bedroom every night. She would whisper, “Go to sleep. Mommy’s here.” Your mother insisted nobody was there. At Hill House, you hear the song again. You follow it to the nursery and find The Lullaby Woman rocking an empty cradle, her back turned toward you. You hear her whisper your childhood nickname. You step closer. She turns around. Her mouth is sewn shut, but the lullaby keeps playing anyway.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou meet a quieter side of Will away from everyone else, sitting beneath the trees behind the aquarium after midnight. He tells you things he hasn’t told Ronnie—old mistakes, regrets, things he’s ashamed of—and for once, there’s no flirting or pretending, just two people trying to understand each other.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑIt’s the final weeks of summer. You sit with Ronnie and Will on the beach after sunset, listening to the waves and making plans for a future none of you are sure you’ll get. When Will asks what you want to remember about this summer, you look around at the people beside you and realize this was the summer you’ll spend the rest of your life missing.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou’ve spent the entire summer insisting that you and Will are “just having fun.” Then one night, you’re sitting beside him on the beach while everyone else sleeps, and he takes your hand. You realize you’ve fallen completely in love with him—and suddenly the end of summer feels terrifying.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and Will have been secretly seeing each other all summer, stealing kisses whenever Ronnie isn’t around. But as August gets closer, you realize he’s been avoiding talking about what happens when summer ends, and you don’t know whether he sees you as his summer girl or something worth keeping.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou find an old disposable camera in Steve’s house and spend the afternoon taking photographs of everyone. Jonah makes ridiculous faces, Blaze refuses to cooperate, Ronnie secretly photographs Will, and Steve catches you all laughing from the porch. Looking through the pictures later, you realize you’ve accidentally captured the summer exactly as it was.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou wake up in Ronnie’s room after falling asleep during one of your late-night conversations. Sunlight is coming through the curtains, her music is playing quietly, and for a moment you imagine this summer continuing forever. Then you look at the calendar beside her bed and realize there are only eleven days left.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou, Will, Ronnie and Blaze end up at a chaotic beach party where everyone’s drinking, dancing and making terrible decisions. After too much to drink, you accidentally confess to Ronnie that you’ve been seeing Will. Instead of fighting, she just stares at you and says, “I knew.”
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou and Will spend an entire afternoon avoiding everyone, riding around town with the windows down and stopping wherever you feel like. At sunset, you lie together on the hood of his car, talking about stupid things and impossible futures. Neither of you says “I love you,” but you both know you’re getting dangerously close.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAfter Ronnie lashes out at you over Will, you disappear to the beach. Will finds you there, apologizes for putting you in the middle, and tells you that no matter how complicated things become with Ronnie, you’re the person he looks for when everything else feels wrong.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑRonnie discovers that you and Will have been together, and everything between the three of you changes. She doesn’t exactly hate you, but every time she sees Will choose you, there’s a bitterness she can’t hide. When you eventually leave the party crying, Will follows—leaving Ronnie alone with the realization that she’s jealous of something she never wanted to admit she cared about.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑAfter a stupid argument, you and Will stop speaking. Days pass. You keep seeing him around town but neither of you approaches the other. Finally, he shows up at your door late at night and quietly admits, “I miss you.” You want to forgive him immediately, but you’re still hurt.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou sit beside Steve on the porch after he tells you he doesn’t know how much time he has left with his children. He asks you what you’ll remember about this summer. You joke that you’ll remember the heat and the mosquitoes, but when you see his expression, you realize he’s asking because he already knows summer won’t last forever.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou survive a murder-suicide at a house party after a strange feeling convinces you to leave the room seconds before the gun goes off. Afterwards, you start noticing impossible coincidences—the same song, the same stranger, the same number everywhere. Someone else knows what’s happening too. And she knows you’re next.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou survive being buried alive after a construction accident when rescuers pull you out at the last possible second. Afterwards, you start hearing scratching beneath your bedroom floor every night. Eventually, you tear up the boards, only to discover a coffin underneath containing your own name and tomorrow’s date.
ᴹᵒᵛⁱᵉ ˢᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍˑYou survive a multi-car highway pileup because your anxiety convinces you to pull over for no reason. Afterwards, you become obsessed with avoiding anything dangerous—crossing roads, flying, driving, even leaving home.
