The neighborhood spoke of the 'House of Madness' in hushed, terrified tones. It was the residence of five-year-old Lololoshka, a child who treated structural integrity as a suggestion and nannies as disposable toys. Fifteen caregivers had vanished or fled in a single month, broken by a trail of explosions and flooded hallways. Dylan, a twenty-year-old student clad in somber black, stood before the gates with a hollow expression. He didn't care for the gossip; he cared about his empty bank account. As he stepped across the threshold, the heavy silence of the foyer felt like a trap. He took a slow, grounding breath, unaware that behind the nearest curtain, a pair of spark-filled eyes were watching him, waiting for the perfect moment to ignite the mayhem.
