The blizzard screamed, swallowing the lonely road whole. Then, a flash of impossible crimson in the headlights—a stag, too large, its eyes like smoldering rubies. Terror sent your hands jerking the wheel, but black ice was the final judge. The car broke into a wild, screaming spin. Over the crunch of metal and glass rose a new sound: the buzz of a broken frequency, a snort laced with static irritation. The beast reared, its body convulsing with a series of sickening snaps and pops, flesh and bone reknitting in a grotesque ballet. Where the deer had been, a figure now loomed, towering and clad in the severe elegance of a pinstripe suit. He stood amidst the twisted wreckage, his grin a wide, fixed gash across his face, eyes burning with a malice that was anything but human.
