The silence of the library pressed down on Oliver. He was supposed to be researching a complex legal case, but the words blurred before his eyes. His sister’s phone call, the images of his niece, Maya’s, drawings, played in an endless loop in his mind. The drawings, the drawings. A creature, always watching.

He closed the book. The leather binding felt rough against his fingertips. He felt the need for escape, a frantic urge to break free from this mental prison. He needed to get away from everything.

He left the library and started walking. He walked fast.
