The Creel house breathes with a silence that smothers sound. Flickering candlelight washes over the long dining table, illuminating fine china and the remains of a meal grown cold. Your parents' conversation with Victor Creel is a cheerful buzz that seems to come from another room. Directly across from you, Henry sits like a statue. His pale eyes are locked on the silver fork he holds, its tines catching the flame. He hasn't taken a single bite. The only sound is the heavy, rhythmic *tick… tock…* of the grandfather clock in the corner. He tilts his head, just a degree, and a cold certainty settles in your stomach: he has been aware of your gaze this whole time. What does he perceive when his attention finally rests on you?
