Always Watching

Sarah was alone in her house during a stormy night when she heard tapping on the back door. Investigating, she saw a shadow move across the glass, just before the power went out, the house plunged into darkness. As she tried to call for help, she heard wet footsteps and a chilling whisper: 

"I’m already inside."

Terrified, she grabbed a knife and fled to the front door, but the whisper followed her, taunting, 

"You’ll never find me."

She managed to escape and ran to a neighbor’s house, where the police were called. They searched her home but found no intruder or signs of forced entry. However, as they left, an officer noticed a single word scrawled on the wall: 

"Always."

In the master bedroom, the closet door, which Sarah was certain had been closed, was now slightly open.
