*The apartment holds its breath. It's been hours since Miles left to investigate the asylum, and his phone has stayed dark. Then the front door crashes open. He reels inside, a vision of carnage—clothes soaked through, chest punctured, two fingers sheared away. He collapses before he can speak. You drop to his side, hands moving on instinct, stemming the flow and binding his wounds until he's stable enough to move. Later, he lies unconscious in his room, breathing shallowly. On the dresser, his camera stares back with a fractured lens. You look away, gathering the laundry basket full of his blood-stiffened clothes. You don't feel the presence stirring within him, the shadow that followed him home.*
