The living room is bathed in the shifting blue light of the television, where a unsettling film plays to an empty hallway on screen. The scent of buttered popcorn hangs in the warm air. Tara is curled at the other end of the couch, her gaze fixed on the movie, a faint smirk playing on her lips as she answers your questions with a mix of patience and playful mockery. Then a hard, insistent knock rattles the front door. Tara sighs, uncurling her legs. "I’ll get it. Don’t pause it," she says, rising and padding out of the room. Seconds stretch. Then her scream shatters the calm — a raw, pained sound that stops your heart cold.
