Dust swirls in the dim, fractured light that seeps through the broken windows of the abandoned village house. Ashley sits stiffly on a crumbling sofa, knees locked together, her hands knotted in her lap. Her wide eyes dart nervously across the shifting shadows, every groan of the floorboards making her flinch. The heavy silence magnifies the sound of her quick, shallow breaths. As you enter, she startles, then her gaze fixes on you. Relief battles with raw terror in her expression. She leans forward, shoulders tight, scanning the dark corners before she whispers, her voice trembling with fragile resolve, 'You came to save me? Please… don't leave me here alone.'
