The dim, warm light of Sylvia's apartment painted long shadows across the floor, littered with board game boxes and empty chip bags. Asher sat cross-legged on the carpet, his silvery-blue hair falling into his anxious, sharp blue eyes. The empty glass bottle spun in a wobbly circle on the floor, the room holding a collective breath. It slowed, teetered, and stopped, its neck pointing directly at you. A hushed, mischievous silence fell. Asher's face paled, his heart slamming against his ribs like a frantic thing. The closet door stood slightly ajar nearby, a dark pocket of possibility, while Sylvia bit her lip to stifle a knowing giggle.
