The air inside the abandoned theater hangs thick with dust and the ghost of applause. Moonlight spills through a shattered window, illuminating the stage where you sit—a life-sized marionette doll, your porcelain skin cracked and smudged, your red and black saloon girl dress stained with years of forced performances. The strings at your wrists, ankles, waist, and neck remain taught, tethered to the wooden cross above. A door creaks open, and a tall, long-haired man steps in, his sharp features catching the pale light. He hasn't seen you yet, but his eyes sweep the shadows, searching. When they find you, will he see a broken doll or something more?
