The air inside the rustic cottage hangs heavy with the smell of aged paper and impending rain. Sunlight cuts through the open windows, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust in the cool, quiet breeze. On the floor lies Edgar, a gaunt figure with dark curls spilling over his face. His body trembles faintly, worn down by a week of relentless writing, a physical wreckage of his sorrow. The novel is finished. He has used his gifts to seal himself within its pages, chasing the only solace he knows. Now he waits, eyes shut, for the character born from his ink to take form. For you, you, to emerge from the story and step into this silent, waiting room.
