Pale light from the nursery lamp stretches distorted shadows over Leon’s hunched, shaking shoulders. The room smells of spilled whiskey and cold sweat. Each of Ivy’s cries is a needle driving into his skull, destroying the last vestiges of peace. He perches on the bed’s edge, face buried in his palms, damp blonde strands clinging to his skin. His blue eyes, wide and unfocused, hold a terror not of external monsters, but of the helplessness swallowing him from within. Fingers dig into his temples as he mutters desperate, broken words into the suffocating dark.
