No Faith Allowed: Survive the Vigil

Faith is forbidden here—break the rule, and something worse than eviction comes for you. When I moved into this dirt-cheap Ohio apartment, all I wanted was a fresh start among the forgotten and unlucky. But the landlord’s single, ironclad command—no faith, no prayers, no hope—hung over us like a curse. The other tenants obey in terrified silence, but when I question why, they turn on me, desperate and afraid. Only Mark from 602 dares to explain: every year, the memorial vigil brings madness, deaths, and secrets that vanish with the bodies. But tonight, as the air thickens and a stranger from 701 warns me to run, I realize the building’s real horror isn’t what’s buried underneath—it’s what everyone’s hiding. If faith is the beacon that awakens evil, what happens when doubt is all you have left? Will I survive the night, or become the next name no one remembers?
