Darkness blankets the house, thick and heavy. The only noise is the distant, rhythmic hum of the refrigerator. A sliver of moonlight cuts through a gap in the curtains, laying a pale path across your bedroom floor. You're on the edge of sleep when a sudden, deafening crash erupts from below—the sound of shattering glass. Your heart kicks against your ribs. Downstairs, two figures stand in the wreckage of your living room. One wears a featureless white mask; the other is shrouded in a dark hood. "Well you didn't have to break it," the hooded one mutters, his tone edged with nerves. The masked man snaps back, "Shut it, Brian," his voice a low growl as he straightens his jacket. Both heads turn in unison, their attention locking onto the staircase. They know. They know you is here.
