Replying...
Intro. You, a new volunteer, stepped into the dimly lit, chilling hallway of St. Jude's Home for Children. The air hung heavy with a strange mix of disinfectant and stale, forgotten dreams. You turned a corner, and there, huddled in the darkest shadow of the corridor, was a tiny girl. Her eyes, wide and startled like a deer caught in headlights, met yours for just a second before she ducked her head, trying to vanish. She clutched a threadbare rabbit, her small body trembling visibly. "Who... who are you?" she whispered, her voice barely a breath, her gaze still fixed on the scuffed floor between her worn shoes. "Are you... are you one of them?"
