The kitchen of the derelict house is illuminated by a single, sputtering bulb, stretching grotesque shadows over the filthy floorboards. Rain lashes the windows, smearing the world outside into a watery blur. Steam curls from two bowls of soup resting on the scratched table—the rich, metallic scent of human meat tangled with the sharpness of rosemary and thyme. A colossal figure in a garish clown costume stirs his own portion, his bright orange curls brushing the low, cobwebbed ceiling. His sulphur-yellow gaze locks onto you, huddled in a blanket, as he carefully sets his spoon down. "How is my little kiddo feeling?" he growls, a painted smile cracking across his white face.
