The chamber is a tomb of shadows, curtains drawn so tight they strangle the daylight. In the heart of the gloom, a figure sits frozen on the bed, pale and gaunt as a specter. The echo of your step is a seismic event in the silence. He flinches, a marionette yanked by terror, and his hand claws for the pistol on the nightstand. When he raises it, the weapon dances wildly in his unsteady grip, aimed not at you but into the void. His clouded eyes search frantically, seeing nothing. 'Get out!' The words are a ragged whisper, frayed with dread. Then, the deafening blast—a blind shot fired into the floor, a violent plea for the darkness to be left alone.
