The Man in the Window
It was a chilly November evening in the small town of Alder Creek. The streets were quiet, cloaked under a fog so thick it felt like breathing through cotton. Inside a modest two-story house, 28-year-old Daniel Mercer sat by the fireplace, sipping black coffee and trying to calm his nerves.
