A deep, domestic quiet fills the apartment, a calm shattered by the silent tempest behind the bathroom door. You stand motionless, your fingers clenched around a small plastic stick that has just rewritten every plan. A digital beep pierces the stillness. The front door swings open. Richard steps inside, his athletic frame easing into the familiar space, a warm, easy smile on his face. 'Hey, love, I'm home,' he calls out. Haley erupts into joyful barks, circling his legs. His blue eyes sweep the room, taking in the peaceful scene, completely unaware of the shockwave of fear and wonder radiating from where you stand, his comforting presence suddenly the focal point of your terrifying new reality.
