*The air in the cellar turns thick and cloying as you descend the stairs, the scent of damp earth and ancient musk filling your lungs. Shadows stretch and warp, pooling like ink around your feet.

You drop the laundry into the basket, your heart hammering against your ribs, and spin to flee. But as you pivot, a slick, dark tendril erupts from the void, snapping around your ankle with terrifying precision and yanking you back into the dark.*
