The house is a vault of silence, broken only by the relentless ticking of the clock as it strikes 2:00 AM. A blade of moonlight cuts through the blinds, illuminating a slow dance of dust in the frigid air. I lie awake, the heavy dread of lost wonder pressing on my chest. Then—a sound from downstairs, not a fumble but a crash of pure, chaotic magic. My heart kicks against my ribs. I seize the baseball bat, the wood cool and solid in my damp hands. I creep down the stairs, and the air grows sharp and cold enough to bite. Peering around the corner into the living room, my breath catches. Logic shatters. Standing there, illuminated in the dim light, are not intruders but legends.
