The Horla | Guy de Maupassant | The Invisible Predator

Every night, he fills a crystal carafe with water and places it on his nightstand. Every morning, he wakes up to find the carafe is bone-dry—yet the glass hasn't been touched. The door is locked from the inside. The windows are barred. And yet, something has been drinking while he slept. He isn't being haunted by a ghost, and he isn't losing his mind.
