Shared Hobbies

Lindsay (Eliza Eves) punches the doorbell at her neighbor's shadowy bungalow, met by the hulking Sal Baxter (Colby Jansen), a brooding shut-in with eyes that linger too long. She's all bright smiles, hawking pledges for a charity drive, unfazed by his eerie vibe. Then Ed Hoskins (Joel Someone) slinks into view, slick and inviting, drawing her inside with easy charm to pitch her cause. As she turns, their smirks betray a sinister undercurrent. They guide her through the creaking house to a murky den, the air thickening with menace. Whispers of foul play hang heavy—Lindsay's pulse quickens, a thrill cutting through her unease, the tension crackling like a storm about to break. She stammers about donations, but Ed and Sal flank her on the worn couch, bodies heat radiating, trapping her in their web. 'Partners?' she probes, voice shaky. They leer, evasive: 'Just two guys chasing the same fix... and right now, that's you, doll.' Shock flares in her eyes, but the raw hunger from these seasoned wolves stirs a forbidden fire in her core, pulling her toward the edge of surrender.
