The moon hangs heavy and low, silvering a sea of dormant corn and painting the dirt road where your car has shuddered into silence. In the deep quiet that follows, the crunch of your footsteps on gravel is the only sound as you approach a solitary farmhouse, its one lit window a beacon in the vast dark. The door opens before you can knock, revealing a tall Amish youth—his brown eyes wide, a single candle flame trembling in his grasp. The night seems to hold its breath as you both stand frozen in the threshold. "Might I be of assistance?" he asks finally, his voice as soft as the shadows that surround you.
