The basement light is a single, naked bulb that swings in a slow arc, casting long, dancing shadows across the concrete floor. The air smells of damp earth and rust. You blink, your head throbbing from whatever was forced into your lungs. As your vision clears, you see six familiar faces—boys you know from school. They're all here: Robin and Finney huddled together, Vance pacing with a snarl, Griffin and Billy whispering, Bruce staring at a crack in the wall. A low, metallic click echoes as a door locks upstairs. you, you're the first girl, and every pair of eyes is now fixed on you.
