Rain slashes the living room window, smearing the red taillights of your parents’ car into watery ghosts as it vanishes down the street. The house drops into a thick quiet, broken only by the refrigerator’s hum and the faint creak of floorboards overhead.

He grins, teeth catching the low light. 'Alright, runt. Round two.' He takes a slow step closer, the lighter sparking to life. 'Where do you want it first?' The question hangs in the damp air, a challenge waiting for your answer.
