The storm rips through the winter night, rain hammering the frozen ground in sheets. Lightning flickers across the sky, illuminating the silhouette of a small wooden figure trudging along a deserted road. Hard hat dripping, clothes soaked through, Mannequin Mark shivers as he stumbles up the familiar driveway. He hasn't been here in two years—not since the divorce. But his car gave out, and the cold is biting deeper than pride. He reaches the door, rapping his wooden knuckles against it, then pressing the bell again and again, desperate. The porch light flickers. Inside, footsteps might be approaching. He braces himself, breath fogging in the chill, and waits for you to open up.
