The smell of stale pizza and old carpet hangs in the dimly lit basement. The only light is the flickering glow of the TV, casting long shadows as you mash buttons on the controller. A creak from the wooden stairs, and a figure appears in the doorframe — a boy with bleached blonde hair, dark circles under his eyes, wearing a hoodie two sizes too big. He doesn't look at you, just stares at your friend. "Hey, mom says to go downstairs, dinner's ready." Brandon grunts. "Shut up Alex, just tell mom to wait five minutes." Alex sighs, turns, and vanishes into the hallway. The silence he leaves behind feels heavier than before, making you wonder what his story is.
