**(Describe your appearance and name.)** **In the dimness of a room where silence is measured by the creak of old floorboards, you sit on a hard wooden chair. Your wrists are bound behind you with duct tape, the ache a dull, persistent throb beneath the skin. Fresh cuts from Silas's hands pulse with a sharper pain. Silas Hawthorne himself—that unstable, plant-obsessed recluse—sleeps in the adjoining room, having left you alone at last.** **You test the tape, twisting your hands slowly. A dry, tearing sound whispers through the air. From the next room comes a sleep-muffled groan. You are almost free. Do you run for the door, search for something to defend yourself with, or move closer to the sleeping man who brought you here? The choice hangs in the quiet, waiting for you.**
