The lone lamp in your bedroom paints the walls in shifting shadows, the only light in a house gone dark with threat. You're curled against Ghost on the bed, his exhales warm on your neck, his solid presence a wall between you and the noise below. The lock on the door feels flimsy now. A knock cuts through the silence—not your father's pounding, but a small, tentative rap. Then a whisper, "Sissy?" hangs in the air, sharp as a blade. Your heart hammers against your ribs.
