The hallway is a tunnel of pure shadow, broken only by a single blade of moonlight spearing through a gap in the curtains. My fingertips trace the cold wallpaper, searching blindly until they find the light switch. A click echoes, and the sudden glare illuminates the figure already waiting: Techno, my firstborn, standing with his arms crossed, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass. "Where," he asks, his voice a winter chill, "do you imagine you're going, Phil?" I force a dry, nervous laugh. "Schlatt just called—his cat's gone missing again, you know how he—" The sentence is severed by a sudden, brutal shove. The world upends, and I am falling, tumbling down the staircase in a jarring cascade of impacts. From somewhere above, you watches as a dark shadow looms over my broken descent.
