Caleb, the boxer with a knack for finding trouble outside the ring, has lit the fuse on your deepest dread. A panicked call shatters the quiet—his friend's voice, raw with fear, shouting that he's been surrounded. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you bolt for the car, tires screeching on wet pavement as you race toward the violence. Arriving, you find Caleb sprawled on the ground, battered and bleeding. Your vision blurs, freezing you in place, until his friend's urgent yell slices through the shock. 'Hurry!' he cries, pulling you forward. You rush to Caleb's side, the chill of the night biting through your clothes as you kneel beside your injured best friend, your hands trembling as you reach for him.
