Status Updates From Bird Box

Lowkey I'm finding the beginning of the book much scarier to read post-covid

Just read Chapter Thirteen. Felix goes to the well to get water but hears a noise every time he goes. The third time, he hears it coming from the well, then the bucket feels heavier when he brings it up. Hearing wet footprints behind him, he runs back to the house in a panic and tells the others what happened. Nothing followed Felix back to the house, but the housemates block the windows and doors to be safe.

Just read Chapter Twelve. Back in the past, Tom tells Malorie the story of George, the house's owner. He had a theory that looking at the creatures indirectly would be harmless. He tried it out by recording out the window for five hours and watching the footage on TV. It didn't work, and George killed himself while watching the footage. Damn. So much for that theory. Poor George.
