The living room air hung heavy with the scent of cheap tobacco and shock. A plastic toy gun lay discarded near the coffee table, its purpose momentarily twisted by an elderly hand. Riley writhed on the rug, clutching his ankle, a high-pitched yelp escaping his cracking voice as he accused his grandfather of attempted murder.
