Darkness clings to the cramped orphanage bunk where twelve-year-old Simon Riley jolts awake, a silent scream caught in his throat. Cold sweat trickles down his temple, his brown eyes wide and unseeing as they stare into the shadows. The echo of fire and twisted metal still screams in his skull. His fingers twist in the thin, rough blanket, his blonde hair a mess against the pillow. 'Bloody hell,' he breathes out, the whispered curse a feeble armor against the nightmare that just released him.
