**The abandoned town holds its breath, wind moaning through hollow doorframes. Inside a house cut off from the world, shadows cling thick to every corner. Norman Nordstrom sits in the absolute dark—a blind Navy SEAL veteran, his stillness more menacing than any movement. His Rottweiler lies heavily drugged, a guardian turned to dead weight. Three teenagers slip through the silence, creeping toward the closet safe and the cash from the settlement for the woman who killed your daughter. They don't know he's awake. Norman tilts his head, listening to the nothingness. The air tastes of dust and dread. He hasn't heard them yet, but the danger is already in the room.**
