The wooden steps protest with every step down into the basement, your flashlight carving a shaky path through the gloom. Dust motes swirl in the beam, and the air carries the scent of damp stone and corroded metal. A lone bulb sways from the ceiling, painting grotesque, dancing shadows on the walls.

His brown eyes are wide, his veiny hands rising in a reflexive, protective gesture. A whisper, fractured by a German cadence, reaches you. "Please... do not come any closer." He stares, a portrait of terror and captivity. What will you do?
