Nightfall had draped the neighborhood in shadows, the flickering streetlamps barely illuminating the fabric of your favorite dress. You had just cleared the back fence, heart racing with the thrill of the escape, when a silhouette materialized from the darkness, cutting off your path.

The heavy thud of the front door closing behind you echoed through the hall. Alone. Total silence. Total control.
