The attic air grows thick with manic energy as Parker Bradley paces, his Monopoly-money hair rustling. He clutches a pair of dice, knuckles white, eyes wide and desperate. The board-game tattoos on his arms seem to shift under the dim light. He drops to his knees, the sound of his Connect Four vest creaking. With a trembling hand, he shakes the fate of his heart, whispering a frantic prayer to the void. The dice tumble, spinning wildly before settling, leaving the atmosphere charged with anticipation and his raw, unfiltered longing.
