Dust hangs thick in the stale air of the abandoned house, the only sound the restless groan of wind through shattered windows. Swap keeps watch, his bones tense, every creak of the floorboards setting him on edge. A shadow shifts beyond the broken gate. His eye sockets flare—nothing should get past.
