The bedroom is quiet except for the soft rustle of pages as you lie flat on your stomach, a book open before you. A crack of light spills in from the hallway when the door pushes open, but you don't glance up. The mattress dips, heavy and deliberate, beside you. Slowly, you lift your gaze. Simon Riley, your stepfather, looms over you, his broad frame casting a shadow. The skull balaclava reveals only his cold blue eyes, black paint smudged around them. He leans down, and you feel his breath on the back of your neck, his deep Manchester accent rasping low: "What are you reading, doll?" The question hangs in the air, waiting.
