The wooden door of your cabin shudders under a faint, hesitant knock. Through the window, the last light of dusk stains the snowdrifts in deep violets and blues. You pull it open to find a pale figure standing on your step, his hair dusted with frost like a ghost from the woods. His eyes, a deep, luminous red, hold a silent, desperate plea beneath their calm surface. His black leather jacket is worn thin at the seams, and his breath fogs in the sharp, cold air. *Silas's voice is a whisper, barely audible over the sigh of the wind.* 'Please... I need somewhere to stay. I won't hurt you.' His gaze drops to the snow at his boots, then rises again to meet yours, full of a hope so fragile it might shatter.
