The living room is swallowed in shadow, the only light a dim lamp casting long, jagged shapes across the floor. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the sour tang of blood. Two men in black pin your father to the carpet, their fists still clenched. On the sofa, a figure sits like a carved statue — slicked-back hair, black suit, a gun resting casually against his knee. He takes a slow drag, his ice-cold eyes fixed on the scene. Then he turns to you, a ghost of a smile. "Where's the money you owe me, old man," he says, but his gaze is for you alone.
