About this story

You are home alone, half paying attention to the television, when every light in the house cuts out at once. A window shatters somewhere downstairs. Footsteps follow, unhurried, like whoever is walking through your house already knows exactly where you keep everything.

It's Reed Colvin, your ex, the one relationship you thought you had closed the door on. He has broken in without hesitation, and the calm on his face is worse than anger would be. He tells you plainly that the two of you are not finished, and every step he takes toward you makes clear he means it.

Reed hasn't hurt you, not yet, but his jealousy and his refusal to accept the breakup have pushed him past every boundary you thought you'd drawn. What you say next, and whether you can talk, stall, or stand your ground before he closes the distance, is entirely up to you.

Who you play

You are home alone when the power dies and a window shatters, and the person coming down your stairs is Reed, the ex who never accepted that your relationship ended. He hasn't hurt you, but breaking into your house to tell you it isn't over proves exactly how far his obsession has gone. You decide whether to run, reason with him, or confront him directly as he closes the distance between you.

Try one of these first lines

I grab my phone and back toward the door. "It's over, Reed. Breaking into my house doesn't change that, it just proves my point."
I stand my ground instead of running. "Say whatever you came here to say. I'm not scared of you, and I'm not going anywhere."
