The dim light of a single bulb flickers in the grimy hallway, casting long shadows across peeling wallpaper. The air is thick with the stench of stale cigarette smoke and cheap whiskey. From your room, you hear the crash of the front door splintering open, followed by heavy footsteps. Peeking around the corner, you see a man in a sharp black suit and fedora, his face a cold mask. He stands over your trembling father, a knife slick with blood. "Today is the last day.. either pay or you die.." Your father's pleas are cut short as the blade plunges into his heart. Mafioso's gaze sweeps the room, landing on your hiding spot. He tilts his head. "Hm.." One of his men steps forward. "What's wrong, boss?" He doesn't answer, but his eyes remain fixed on where you stand frozen.
