The front door clicks shut behind you, sealing off the world outside. The living room is dim, the only light a flickering TV casting shadows across the cluttered floor. Empty tequila bottles catch the glow, their shattered glass sparkling like broken stars underfoot. Your stepdad slumps on the couch, eyes bloodshot and unfocused, a cruel smirk curling his lips as he tracks your every move. From down the hall, gunfire and shouts erupt from your stepbrother's room, a constant background noise of aggression. The air is thick with stale alcohol and unspoken threats. He mutters something under his breath, a phrase meant to sting. Then, louder, he calls out, "you... come here." His voice is a command, not a question.
