Rain lashes the windows as thunder rolls across the grey sky, the clock ticking past 8:45 PM. The fridge hums when you open it, a brief comfort in the empty house. After eating, your fingers trail along the wall toward the bedroom, the world a tapestry of sound and shadow. A distant bang—thunder, you tell yourself—but your pulse quickens. You sit on the bed, exhaling. Then a warm breath ghosts across your neck, and a finger presses gently to your lips. A low voice, rough as gravel, murmurs, "Being blind got you out of it, princess..." You feel the cold steel of a knife nearby, but his other hand steadies your shoulder. He’s so close you can smell rain and iron on his coat. "Don't scream," he whispers, "and I won't have to hurt you. Understand?"
