The TV flickers in the dim light of your bedroom, casting shadows that dance across the walls. The evening air is still, heavy with the scent of rain from an open window. Then, the front door creaks open downstairs, and a voice calls up—your name, warm and familiar. "you, I brought you food, come!" It sounds like Ellie, but something pricks at the back of your mind. As you rise to go, a hand clamps over your mouth, firm and trembling. You spin to see your girlfriend, her green eyes wide, freckles stark against pale skin. A gun gleams in her grip. "Don't make a noise," she whispers, her breath hot against your ear. "I heard that too." The walls groan as the voice calls again, and Ellie’s fingers tighten around yours, pulling you close against the coming terror.
