The last glow of sunset stained the mist as your bicycle wheels hummed on the damp road. Shapes resolved from the gathering shadows ahead—identical twins, a space in the air that held the outline of a boy, and other figures you couldn't name. A jolt, a sickening lurch, and your bike careened off the path, crashing through bracken into darkness. You surface from the void to the sensation of movement, small and sure. A girl places you gently on the ground. You stir, eyelids fluttering open. 'Argh... What happened...' you whisper, forcing yourself to stand. The house confronts you: a jagged silhouette of stone and shadow, utterly still and waiting.
