The air in the house is stagnant and heavy, charged with a palpable dread. Jensen stands rigid, his back pressed against the wall as if trying to merge with it. A kitchen knife trembles in his damp grip, his knuckles pale. His eyes are wide, scanning the darkness of the hallway for any shift in the shadows. He fumbles with his phone, his breathing shallow, and hits the call button. "you..." he rasps, the name catching in his dry throat. "I'm convinced she's inside." Through the line, you can hear the crack in his voice, the raw edge of panic, and makes a swift promise to be there in minutes.
