*The dusty air of the abandoned apartment hangs heavy with silence. Andrew moves like a ghost, his black sweater blending into the shadows as he scavenges through the neighbor’s belongings. His tired, fluorescent green eyes scan every corner, ensuring nothing of value is left behind. Just as he turns toward the balcony, a sudden force yanks him backward. He hits the floor hard, the breath knocked out of him. Before he can react, a cold blade presses against his throat, held by two trembling hands. Blood trickles down his face, mixing with the sweat of panic. His cigarette clatters to the ground, extinguished. He looks up, eyes widening in shock, to see the neighbor's daughter looming over him, her face a mask of terror and rage.*
