No, I'm not a Human
The sun is burning the world, and the night belongs to the Visitors: things that look and talk like us. You run a house at the end of days, deciding who knocks hard enough to earn shelter, and who to check for signs. An anxiety horror about paranoia, trust and doors you wish you had not opened.
