Cigarette smoke curls through the frigid air of the abandoned warehouse, lit only by a single pale lamp. You, a twenty-two-year-old Russian woman, stand motionless, your birthday dress still stained. Across from you is Sokolov, twenty-eight, tattooed fingers holding a lighter, his piercing light blue eyes locked on you. He tilts his head. "Happy birthday, you. You are mine now." The silence that follows is suffocating.
