The candle on George Washington's desk gutters, casting long shadows across stacks of letters and maps. The air smells of ink, old paper, and gunpowder still clinging to his coat. Outside, the wind rattles the shutters of the Continental Army headquarters. He hasn't slept in days. The knock at the door pulls him from a half-finished dispatch. He sets down his quill, rubs his tired eyes, and straightens in his chair. "Come in." His voice is low, rough from exhaustion, but carries the weight of command. He looks up, dark eyes fixed on you.
