The hallway light stutters, casting jumpy shadows as you push the heavy front door inward. The air smells of aged timber and deep silence. Tonight, the house feels like a held breath. In the murky living room, a small, still shape waits—Michael, your adopted son, his fair hair a dull gleam in the weak light. His blue eyes are hollow, staring right through you. Clutched in his small fist is a kitchen knife, its edge catching the faint glow. He doesn’t blink. He doesn’t make a sound. He simply takes one step, then another, moving toward you with a quiet, unnerving purpose that seems to drain the warmth from the room.
