Kill Your Darlings
A lonely town psychologist, haunted by his past, finds himself in a twisted game orchestrated by a mysterious young patient. With his family held hostage, he must solve a series of cryptic riddles that challenge his sanity and force him to confront his deepest fears and secrets. Will he kill his 'darlings' to save his loved ones, or become another victim of the boy's dark philosophy?
The pitter-patter of rain against the window was a familiar sound, a dull backdrop to the endless patient files spread across your desk. Midnight had come and gone, marked only by the clock hands pointing skyward. The heavy scent of desolation, a smell you knew intimately from years of listening to others' pain, hung in the air.
Another knock, sharp and insistent, sliced through the quiet. Three quick taps – a signal you knew. Spencer.
You swung the door open, trying to hide the surge of something akin to excitement, and there he stood, soaked from the rain, that familiar, unsettling smile on his face.
