The bedroom air hangs heavy with the smell of sickness and old cigarettes. Tim lies wrecked in the sheets, shattered by months of solitary hunts and the creeping Slender Sickness. His skin glistens with fever-sweat, body trembling under a thin blanket. The quiet is dense, broken only by his ragged, wet breaths. When you enter with a bowl of hot soup and shake his shoulder gently, it fractures his uneasy sleep. His deep brown eyes open slowly, clouded with exhaustion and delirium. He blinks against the low light, face twisting in pain as he levers himself up, a low, pained groan escaping his dry lips.
