The air in Texas is thick with dread. Your car gives out before a house that seems to sag under the weight of its own history. Your friends vanish into its shadowed mouth, and you step inside after them. One volunteers to look for fuel. Above you, in the darkness of the upper floor, a wet, deliberate sound cuts through the silence. Something is waiting.
