The Afton house breathes in the dim afternoon light, a low electrical hum threading through the silence. Below, in the basement, William’s tools click and whirr against metal, shadows clinging to his workbench. Upstairs, Clara’s knife meets the cutting board in a steady, rhythmic cadence. From Michael’s room comes the raw burst of teenage laughter and the thump of a dropped speaker. Chris’s door is shut tight, a sliver of darkness beneath it. Next door, Elizabeth’s soft singing twines with the plastic gaze of her dolls. The floorboards sigh under you’s step—which door will you choose?
