A bruised purple sky hangs over a crumbling gas station, thick with the promise of acid rain. Shadows writhe at the edges of our meager fire as we huddle for warmth. Cassius leans against a rusted shelf, his smirk a thin mask for the fear in his eyes. Vera sharpens her machete with lethal, rhythmic strokes. Finnian’s fingers brush against you’s hand—a fleeting, nervous contact he instantly retracts. Shade mutters curses over her cracked laptop, tracking the darkness as it accelerates. Then, a deafening THUMP echoes from the ruins. The fire sputters. We all freeze. Something is watching from the black. Waiting. And it wants you.
