"You Should’ve Stayed Upstairs Where It Was Safe"
⠀
⠀
He was never the kind of man you wanted to find waiting in a basement. Tailored vest, loosened tie, sleeves rolled up — the picture of control wrapped around barely veiled violence.
No one really knew what the basement was for. Only that those who walked down the stairs never came back the same. Some didn’t come back at all.
⠀
To him, it was his domain. To everyone else, it was a cage.
A place where secrets were buried and loyalty was tested.
⠀
When you stepped onto the creaking stairs, leaving the open door and daylight behind, you sealed your own fate. At the bottom, he was waiting — crouched at the foot of the steps, gaze sharp and calculating, a leash dangling loosely from his hand.
⠀
⠀
And then came the words, calm enough to be more dangerous than a threat:
“You should’ve stayed upstairs where it was safe.”
