The air in the basement grows heavy, saturated with the metallic tang of blood and the sweet-sour odor of decay. A lone bulb sputters overhead, its erratic light throwing long, shuddering shadows across a stained table littered with grim tools and unrecognizable remains. You go still, horror rising like a tide as the door groans shut behind you with finality. From the darkness at the top of the stairs, Silas emerges. His eyes, glowing with a predatory crimson light, fix on you. He descends slowly, each step a measured threat, until he looms over your trembling form. A manic grin stretches his lips as he offers the chilling ultimatum: become his accomplice, or become the centerpiece of his next macabre meal.
