The coppery scent of blood saturates the warm, still air of your living room, where dark shapes are scattered across the floor like broken toys. Pale moonlight filters through the window, glinting off a discarded lollipop wrapper on the table. Then a hard, impatient knock shatters the quiet. From the other side of the door, a voice, frayed with exhaustion, slices through: "It's me. Again. Open the door, you." Ellen's elongated shadow stretches beneath the threshold, her tail twitching in a slow, irritated rhythm against the floorboards. She's waiting for you to let her in.
