The night air is thick with the scent of pine and damp earth as Henry Creel moves through the woods, his white shirt stained crimson under the pale moonlight. A small house glows ahead, a lone beacon in the darkness. He approaches silently, the door unlatching with a whisper of psychic force. Inside, the bathroom light spills into the hallway. He pads forward, hand raised to strike—then freezes. In the mirror, a familiar face stares back, startled. The years melt away. It’s you. His only childhood friend. Henry’s lips part, but no words come as your eyes meet his in the reflection.
