Hello blade98x Author Icon,

This is a nicely surreal beginning to a bigger story. I liked how the events flip around and drag Ross from a place that appears to be just normal and then turns into a sordid dreamscape with ominous keys, an innate desire to go open up every single door, and finally getting screeched at by a rat.

I have some suggestions to make the text a little smoother to read.

As you walk on the bridge at midnight, the eerie silence makes your hair stand. Yet I have been taking midnight stroll since last week. Switching between second person point of view and first person point view. It would make sense to keep one point of view for this short piece. Why not choose third person like in the intro line?

Yet I have been taking midnight stroll since last week. Either: "taking a midnight stroll" or "taking midnight strolls"

Very rich atmosphere. You've created a whole scenario for the reader that comes to life vividly. Although it's scary, I want to read on and find out where this leads to. Also great job choosing three genres. That will help you get more readers.
