Written by J.W. Ocker
Noe and her family have moved into a new neighborhood. It will be a new start for her and the family. Noe has a problem. She is a sleepwalker. Her last sleepover at a friend’s house did not end well. She has no memory of what she did, but her friend no longer wants to talk to her.
After moving in, she sees girls her age staring at the house. They warn her not to go in her basement. Of course this is the first place she investigates. What she finds is terrifying. There is an actual monster living in the cracks of the cement walls. When she finds the diary of the girl who used to live there she hopes it may give her a hint as to how to defeat this thing. She needs help.
