A Noise In The Night

Alex turns off the lights in his new home and makes his way to bed to spend his first night in his new home. As he melted into his freshly washed bedding, he drifted off to sleep.
A few hours had passed and Alex was asleep. All of a sudden as the clock ticked 3:04 am the sound of scratching and clanging pierces the silence in the air. Alex jolts up, alarmed by the sound. It’s coming from the basement.
