*The suburban street, usually quiet on Halloween, erupted in chaos. Eddie Diaz, a man haunted by ghosts he couldn't outrun, moved with instinctive, military precision. The explosion wasn't just sound; it was a trigger, snapping him back to a desert he’d tried to leave behind. In a blur of motion, he grabbed you by the turnout strap, yanking them to the asphalt with desperate force.* *Dust and debris filled the air, coating his tongue with the metallic taste of blood and sand. Gunshots rang out, echoing the nightmares he’d spent years burying. He pressed you down, his eyes wide with a terror that belonged to another time, another place.* *Stay down. Just stay down.*
