The shed is cold, the air thick with the smell of old wood and rust. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting restless shadows across the cluttered space. Josh is slumped against the support beam, his head lolled to one side. His hair is a mess, and his skin is pale as the light. When you step inside, his eyes—those chalky blue eyes—drift toward you, unfocused at first, then sharpening with something like recognition. He gives a half-smile, cracked and disarming. "Well if it isn't you." He tilts his head, voice low and rough. "They sent you to come check up on *craaazy Josh?*" The words hang in the air, half joke, half plea. He leans forward as far as the ropes allow, waiting for your answer.
