The living room is a cocoon of warm light and the low, overlapping hum of family voices. Glasses clink softly. Sinking into the worn cushions of the sofa, you let your focus drift toward the flickering television screen. Then your mother's voice slices cleanly through the comfort. "Sweetheart," she says, her gaze darting toward the shadowed staircase, "would you please go and call your brother down?" Upstairs, the hallway is silent, ending at the one door that is always closed. You know that room. You know what—and who—waits behind it.
