You keep the thing offstage the whole way and it costs you nothing. The lift opening on its own, the weight shifting in the dark, never shown. The reader builds the worst of it without you. Curious how much you'll reveal in Part 2, or whether you'll hold.

Thanks! The reader's imagination is always much scarier than whatever can be put on the page.

Sets up part two very well. The disappearing chair was a great first uncanny moment. So mundane, but so puts you on edge.

Hey, while you're stuck at the office and being terrorized, why not crunch some numbers? Keep ahead of the curve! Productivity!

Exactly, being hunted is no excuse for falling behind on targets!
