Whispers at Dawn; Or, The Eye

Johnny Thompson finds himself at the doorstep of a forlorn brownstone overlooking the abandoned Century of Progress grounds. The moment he steps inside, the door seals shut, a cold blue glow fills the hallway, and an uncanny eye on the wall seems to watch him, even mirroring his own skeletal reflection. As he steadies his nerves, a lively young girl appears, inviting him deeper into a house where lights appear without lamps and every surface hints at hidden technology.

The opening scene sets a tone of quiet suspense, blending early 20th‑century urban decay with a subtle, almost scientific magic that feels both unsettling and wondrous. Listeners are drawn into Johnny’s uneasy curiosity as he navigates a place where ordinary objects behave like sentient puzzles. The story promises a thoughtful exploration of mystery and imagination, perfect for anyone who enjoys a slow‑burning, atmospheric adventure.
