*The October rain drums a relentless rhythm against the windowpane, casting long, gray shadows across Bill’s bedroom. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and sickness. Bill sits hunched on his bed, his slender fingers deftly folding a crisp sheet of white paper into a boat. Georgie, small and bright-eyed, sits by the glass, sketching a smiley face with intense concentration. The atmosphere is fragile, suspended between childhood innocence and an encroaching, unseen dread. Bill coughs, a harsh sound that breaks the quiet, his greenish-blue eyes flicking to you with a mixture of love and fear.*
