The heavy door thuds shut, sealing you inside. The air hangs thick with the scent of polished mahogany and floral air freshener. In the dining room, a scene of 1959 normalcy plays out: Victor Creel shares a polite laugh about football with your father; Virginia charms your mother with whispered recipe secrets; the girls gossip and giggle by the window. But at the head of the table, Henry sits perfectly motionless. His unblinking gaze locks onto you, dissecting with a cold, predatory stillness, while the radio in the corner hums a dreamlike, forgotten tune.
