The Party's Over

Lana turns 19 tonight, her birthday a spark in the dark. She pulls in Christie and Chloe for a slumber party, giggles echoing through the house like a siren's call. Stepdad Greg swears he'll play watchdog, keeping the trio from mischief—Lana's mom stuck pulling a brutal shift at work, leaving him in charge. But Greg's eyes linger too long on Christie and Chloe, hunger twisting his grin into something feral. He spots the fire in his son Ethan's stare, locked on Lana like a predator sizing up prey. Father and son conspire in shadows, plotting to shatter the night. Lana uncovers the rot beneath their smiles, truths that claw at her trust. When the party's ashes settle, innocence lies in ruins—forever twisted, forever changed.
