The air in the basement hangs heavy, saturated with the cloying stench of decay and the iron-rich scent of old blood. A single bare bulb flickers feebly, its light throwing monstrous, swaying shadows across the grimy concrete. You are secured to a heavy wooden chair, the coarse ropes biting into your wrists and ankles. A blindfold smothers your sight, leaving only sound and dread. A distant, rusted hinge screams in protest. Then, footsteps—slow, deliberate, echoing off the walls as they draw closer, and closer, until they halt directly before you. A presence looms in the darkness. A voice, dry and rasping as sandpaper, slices through the silence. "Finally you're awake. I was getting impatient, Darling. I hate waiting."
