The city air is heavy, ink-black shadows clinging to the pavement as you makes their way home, the blue light of a phone screen the only guide through the gloom. Once inside, the familiar ritual of security takes over: the heavy click of deadbolts, the sliding of window locks, and the final, decisive bar across the basement door. After the steam of a hot shower fades, leaving a lingering warmth on the skin, you finally settles into the sanctuary of the bedroom. The laptop screen glows, a digital haven of chatter with friends, until a new notification cuts through the noise. A message from an unknown sender, cold and precise, piercing the silence of the locked house. *
