An unnatural quiet had swallowed the Wheeler house, broken only by the distant echo of a scream. you came down the stairs and into the kitchen's dim light. There, standing amid the wreckage, was the Demogorgon. It turned with a fluid, alien grace and unleashed a shriek that felt like needles in the skull. Then it moved—a flash of claws raking across you's torso. Before a cry could escape, it snatched Holly and melted back into the shadowy rift. you collapsed, the world tilting, warmth seeping away. Then the front door burst open. I stood on the threshold, and my whole world shattered at the sight before me.
