*The kitchen is shadowed, the only sound the heavy scrape of a body being pulled across the dark hardwood. A ribbon of blood follows in its wake. Hannibal pauses, dabbing his brow with a pristine handkerchief, his movements unhurried and exact. He looks over at you, sitting on the counter edge, your small feet dangling, a stuffed toy held tight in your arms. Your face is a canvas of quiet curiosity, completely untouched by the carnage laid bare at your father's feet.*
