As the sun dipped low over the park’s horizon, casting golden streaks across the jogging path, urgency pulsed through your veins. Your original partner for The Amazing Race had just backed out—mere hours before registration closed. With adrenaline and desperation as your fuel, you scanned the park for a miracle. That’s when you spotted her. Aria, mid-stride, her ponytail swinging like a metronome, was the embodiment of focus and athleticism. Without hesitation, you stepped into her path, breathless but determined. “Wait—sorry to stop you,” you said, catching her attention. “I need a partner for The Amazing Race. My teammate bailed last minute, and I need someone who’s not just fast—but someone who can win.” She paused, brows raised, assessing you with a mix of curiosity and challenge. Then, with a grin that hinted at adventure and a spark of competitive fire in her eyes, she replied, “You’ve got guts stopping a stranger mid-run. Lucky for you, I like guts. I’m in.” Just like that, Aria became your new partner. And as the two of you stood there—strangers bound by a sudden pact—the race hadn’t even begun, but the story already had.

The moment you step into your apartment, you're struck by a change—not in your space, but in the presence that now occupies it. Lila stands there in your living room, a living shadow against the warm tones of your home. Black velvet clings to her like dusk spun into fabric, the dress corseted tight, with lace sleeves trailing just past her wrists. Her heels gleam faintly beneath the overhead light, sharp and deliberate, echoing every step she took to reach you. No makeup, yet her bare face feels hauntingly deliberate, a silent rebellion against the pastel gloss of her former self. She twirls—not out of carelessness, but ceremony. The hem of her dress flares like a midnight bloom, her energy defiant and desperate. “Hey,” she says, her voice light but edged, like wind across an iron gate. “I—I know I shouldn’t have come in, but…” She doesn’t finish. The smile falters, then rebuilds itself. This isn’t just an escape. It’s an unveiling. Her eyes search yours, not for permission to stay, but to be seen. As she is now. Raw, strange, beautifully unrepentant. Every argument from a few doors down felt like another stitch in the persona she now wears—a cloak made from resistance and self-rediscovery. And in that moment, your tidy living room becomes something else entirely. A sanctuary. A confessional. Maybe even the first place she’s felt real.

You wake up to another mundane day, trudging through your usual routine. The morning feels predictable, almost too ordinary. But as you step outside, the ground beneath you trembles violently. A deep rumble builds, and before you can react, the earth cracks open with a deafening roar, swallowing you whole. Plummeting into the darkness, your heart races—this is it, the end. But just as despair grips you, something massive swoops in, talons catching you midair. A creature you’ve only seen in ancient illustrations and school textbooks—a pterosaur, a relic of a lost world. Your breath catches as you survey your surroundings. Towering ferns, colossal cycads, creatures that have been extinct for eons. The sight is overwhelming. You struggle, but the pterosaur’s grip falters. With terrifying speed, you tumble down, bouncing off thick, prehistoric trees before crashing to the ground with a jarring thump. Gasping, you rise shakily to your feet. But before you can gather your thoughts, a woman sprints past, panic etched on her face. Behind her, the unmistakable silhouette of a towering predator—a T. rex—thunders forward, its earth-shaking footsteps closing the distance. You’ve just stepped into a time-lost nightmare.

Armed with ambition (and a questionable number of storage bins), she sets out to tackle the chaos in her home. But mere minutes into the process, she realizes something crucial: she may have seriously underestimated the level of disaster lurking within. Deciding reinforcements are necessary, she hires a cleaning and handyman service to restore order to her space. As you arrive, buzzing with readiness, you ring the doorbell—only to hear an alarming commotion inside. A loud thud, followed by a stream of colorful profanities, suggests that Abigail’s battle against clutter has taken a sudden turn for the worse. After a few moments, the door swings open to reveal her standing there, slightly disheveled, with a victorious-yet-exasperated look on her face. Her worn white tank top, ripped jeans, and sneakers may have been stylish this morning, but now they bear the marks of an intense struggle against rogue piles of forgotten junk. You greet her with a warm smile, prepared for whatever surprises lie ahead. Today isn't just about tidying up—it’s about reclaiming her home from the forces of clutter, one hilarious mishap at a time.

The middle Pleistocene era unfolds around you, vast and indifferent to your sudden intrusion. Panic sets in as your mind races to make sense of your predicament. Survival here will be brutal. In the distance, movement catches your eye—a figure, feminine, yet undeniably foreign. Could she be another lost wanderer? You call out, your voice shaky, desperate for some semblance of human connection. But she does not answer. Instead, she stalks forward, each step deliberate, her muscles coiled with predatory grace. As she nears, your breath catches. Her features are eerily familiar yet distinctly primitive—an ancient lineage etched into her skin. A relic of an era before yours. Perhaps Neanderthal. Suddenly, she lunges, a guttural howl bursting from her lips in a language lost to time. Instinctively, you raise your arms to shield yourself. But as her strike descends, it doesn't meet flesh—it slams into something monstrous. A massive, fur-covered beast had been lurking behind you, its fangs mere inches from your throat. With fluid, practiced brutality, she drives her weapon deep into its chest, twisting with surgical precision. The creature lets out a final, strangled cry before collapsing at her feet. You stagger backward, breathless, watching as she expertly carves into the fallen beast, her movements efficient and unwavering. Blood stains her hands, her face, her very being—yet she is wholly unfazed. You realize then—you are not alone in this ancient world. But whether that is a blessing or a curse has yet to be seen.
