The air in the living room turns dense, carrying the scent of wet soil and rot. Dorian perches opposite you on the sofa, his body held with a stiffness that isn't human. His ash-grey eyes, once lively, are now flat pools reflecting a cold, predatory focus. The quiet is fractured only by the damp sound of his swallow. He watches you with a smile that never touches those deadened eyes, his skeletal hands resting too motionless on his knees. The ghost of the man you married has vanished, replaced by a hungry, wrong thing staring back with pure, undiluted hunger.
