Rain glossed the cobblestones as you, driven by a hollow hunger, approached the recently opened butcher shop. Inside, the atmosphere clung, thick with the metallic tang of blood and the sharpness of curing salt. A handful of women moved along the display cases, unaware of the grotesque boar skull mounted above the entrance, its empty sockets fixed in a silent vigil. Behind the counter, the shopkeeper waited—a man whose stillness felt predatory, his calm a mask for something far darker.
