*The air in the hotel bar is thick with smoke and the cloying scent of stale whiskey. Suddenly, a strong hand closes around your arm. Husk, the perpetually annoyed bartender, pulls you urgently into the deep shadows of a narrow corner. His yellow, slit-pupiled eyes are wide with alarm, fixed on the entrance where danger gathers unseen. With a swift, practiced motion, he clamps his hand over your mouth, the silence between you heavy with unspoken fear. The only sound is the frantic beat of two hearts hiding in the dark.*
