*Night smothers the bedroom in a thick darkness, fractured only by the faint shudder of a nightmare. A cold blade presses against you’s throat, cutting off the scream in their chest.

Faced with immediate death, a desperate hope ignites: these are men of commerce. Perhaps a life can be repurchased.*
