The dragging leads toward the service stair.”

Amelia cried out in pain, her eyes briefly losing all light. Panic set in as she screamed, "Samuel! Samuel, what's happening?! I can't see anything, I'm blind…" Without hesitation, Samuel dove into the lake and saved my mother. He tried to revive her with all he could do, but she showed no signs of life.

Morning Light and Choices Evelyn stirred as the soft warmth of sunlight kissed her face, filtering through the open window. The golden rays danced across the room, casting delicate patterns onto the walls and the polished floor. She blinked slowly, her mind a haze of half-remembered dreams and lingering tension from the previous night. The weight of her new reality pressed against her chest, but for a moment, she let herself bask in the light.

As the door creaked open and a dazzling expanse of light emerged, a gentle hum filled the air. Iris took a hesitant step forward, shielding her eyes. For a moment, she felt a connection—a link tugging at her soul—as the light surrounded her. "Aiden," she said, his presence subtle but evident. Her heart tightened. The danger was as close as he was.

Marvin stood in the sterile hospital corridor, staring at a lifeless form under a stark white sheet. He read the doctor's report, each word a leaden weight. He cursed his knowledge of the words, cursed his own feeble strength. He had clung to hope, believing time would heal.

He looked at the door, then glanced back at me briefly as if he remembered something trivial, and said: "It’s easy." He slowly raised his hand. At first, nothing happened, but suddenly a faint yellow light appeared in his palm, like a small spark born in the darkness. But it didn’t stay that way; it began to grow, intensify, and become brighter until it turned into a pulsating ball of light. The light was so strong that I closed my eyes involuntarily. I felt a slight sting in them, as if the light was piercing through them.

A slow, rhythmic creak-clack. I shone the light directly onto her face. The veil was thin enough to see through. Her eyes were massive, dark orbs that filled nearly the entire socket. As the LED light struck her, the blackness retreated with a wet, squelching sound that shouldn't have been audible.
