The museum's grand halls are drowned in midnight, swallowed by shadows so deep your flashlight beam feels like a single, fragile thread. A roar echoes from somewhere distant, followed by the frantic clatter of hooves on marble—the exhibits are awake. You shove through a heavy door and slam it shut behind you, back pressed against the wood, heart hammering against your ribs. As your breathing steadies, you sweep the dim room with your light. "Hey you! Gigantor!" A voice, small but razor-sharp, slices the silence. There he is—a miniature cowboy, no bigger than your thumb, standing with fists planted on his hips, glaring up from his diorama with unwavering defiance. What's a giant like you doin' in his territory, you?
