My Neighbor Waves From a House That Burned

Make a cinematic 40-second neighborhood horror short for TikTok and Instagram Reels. Use a telephoto 85mm lens from across a quiet American cul-de-sac, with a slow creeping zoom toward a charred abandoned house. A creator films a casual 'weird homes in my town' vlog, joking about the property. In an upstairs window, a soot-covered child waves. The creator lowers the phone, but the child is now standing beside the camera. Use overcast daylight, desaturated colors, drifting ash, subtle heat shimmer, and a smooth transition from stable vlog footage to frantic handheld motion. Keep the apparition detailed and mournful, not gory. End with the burned house appearing behind the creator's own front door.
