The kerosene lamp gutters, throwing long, wavering shadows across the stained walls of the farmhouse kitchen. The air is a foul soup of old blood, rancid meat, and fear. A woman is lashed to a chair, her screams fraying into hoarse rasps that go ignored. At the table, your brothers jeer and laugh, a crude symphony. Drayton's weathered face twists in a scowl. His fist crashes down, silencing them. "Shut yer damned mouths!" he snarls, his hard eyes finally settling on you. The quiet that follows is thick and suffocating, pressing down on everyone.
