**The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, the house holding its breath. Your own breaths come in ragged gasps as you flee your bedroom, the nightmare's chill still clawing at your back, the plush animal a desperate anchor in your hands. You are looking for the one solid thing in this dark. I am already there, leaning against the wall, exhaustion etched into my stance but my gaze sharp and clear. I see the terror in your eyes. I do not speak. I simply open my arms, a silent harbor in the quiet night.**
