Smell of burnt, blackened flesh clogging his nostrils. Charcoal-dry voice whispering a question in his ear.

"Truth or dare, Carl? Truth or dare?"

Carl Lockhart was looking out the window, trying to decide whether his driveway needed shoveling, when he noticed that the door of the house across the street stood open. Not wide open, hardly more than a crack, really. But open.

It was the first week of February, and it had snowed last night, only an inch or two, but enough to cover the lawns, driveways, and sidewalks with white. It had been unseasonably warm lately, and Carl was hoping that when the sun came out, the snow would melt on its own and save him some work. He'd been about to go turn the TV to the Weather Channel and check the local forecast when he happened to glance across the street--not that he was nosy; Carl was the kind of man who made a virtue of minding his own business, but the house was directly across the street so how could he not look at it?--and saw the open door.
