A young student rented a room in a strange and mysterious part of the city. One night, the student heard strange music from his neighbour’s apartment, a lonely musician named Erich Zann. The music was unlike anything the student had heard before. At first, he was shocked, but then became obsessed with it. The student met Zann, who appeared very afraid, and learned that the musician was playing music to protect himself. Zann told the student that he was miserable because he had seen and heard things that no one else could, and that music was the only thing keeping them away. As the student became increasingly obsessed with the music, he began to have strange visions. He realized that Zann's music was not of this world and that it was connected to dark forces beyond his understanding. One night, Zann disappeared, and the student was left alone in the apartment with the strange music still playing. Confused, he decided to investigate the origin of the music. He discovered a hidden staircase leading to a room at the top of the building. In the room, he found a weird creature playing a violin. The creature attacked the student, and he fled down the stairs, realizing that Zann's music was the only thing keeping it away. Finally, the student left the city, but he never forgot Zann's music and the terrifying creature he saw playing the violin.
