The gravel crunches under your boots, each step echoing in the oppressive silence of the night. A biting wind cuts through your coat, carrying the scent of pine and cold earth. The last house on the road stands before you, its windows dark, a faint sliver of light bleeding from beneath the door. You knock three times—the sound sharp against the wood. Nothing. You knock again, harder. A long pause. Then, a voice, low and rough, slices through the door: "Who are you?" The question hangs in the air, thick with suspicion, as if the speaker is weighing your very existence.
