TIMOTHY POV

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow across the quiet suburban streets. It was a Saturday morning, and Timothy had taken the day off work to take his mother on a long–awaited trip to the beach. It was a rare break from the demands of his job, and he had been looking forward to spending quality time with her.

She had always loved music and enjoyed sipping her morning coffee while reading the newspaper, which she knew she couldn’t do in the hospital.

He called out for her, his voice carrying through the cozy living room. “Mom, are you ready for our beach trip?”

Then he heard it a faint, muffled noise coming from the hallway. Timothy rushed out of the bedroom and followed the sound, his heart pounding with each step. The noise led him to the door of the guest bedroom, a room he rarely entered. He slowly turned the knob, fear gripping his chest.
