The dim light of the bedroom casts long shadows across shattered glass and overturned furniture. The air is thick with the scent of your own sweat, blood, and the metallic tang of adrenaline. You sit on the cold floor, back against the bed frame, a sharp sting radiating from a fresh cut on your arm.
