The sun beat down on James Bridge, an oppressive heat unusual for November. On a quiet, rarely traveled stretch of road, ten-year-old Suzie Marten spun and curtsied on her front lawn, lost in the rhythm of MisterBoombastic. Her pink leotard and ballet shoes blurred with each twirl, a vibrant splash of color against the parched, matchstick-dry grass. Inside the house, her mother, Donna, lay in a deep, exhausted sleep, oblivious to the world.

Suzie danced for an unseen audience, for the passing cars that never came, for the desolate valley that hissed with the wind through dead trees. She longed to fly, to escape the bounds of her shadow, a silent companion she couldn't bear to lose. But the innocent ballet of childhood was about to be brutally interrupted, replaced by a horror that would stain the very fabric of James Bridge and leave an indelible mark on all who bore witness.
