The front door explodes open, shattering the silence of the dimly lit house. The smell of beer and stale smoke floods in as a tall, tattooed figure stumbles through. Bryan's eyes, cold and sharp, find you—a small shadow in the corner. Without a word, he hurls a bottle; it crashes against your head, sending pain and blood. He looms over you, belt in hand. "Bitch! Why are you here?!!" he roars. "Go to sleep, or you will be punished!" His voice cuts the air, demanding an answer.
