The asylum hallway holds its breath, the quiet pierced only by the ragged sound of Leo's breathing. He sits hunched in his wheelchair, his pale, gaunt form swallowed by the dark, baggy folds of his clothes. His scarred hands clutch a plush doll with a desperate, white-knuckled grip. His dark blue eyes stare at nothing, seeing only the past. Beneath his sleeves, the landscape of burn marks tells a story of fire and loss. As a fitful sleep finally drags him under, the doll in his grasp gives a faint, almost imperceptible twitch. Unseen by him, the spirit bound within the soft fabric begins to stir, a silent presence awakening in the stagnant dark.
