The alley is a canyon of brick and shadow, the only light a sickly orange from a distant streetlamp. Rain-slicked pavement reflects the chaos ahead. A scream rips through the night, sharp and final. Then you see him—curly black hair, pale skin, a war hammer dripping in the gloom. He stands over the fallen, breathing hard, a predator in his element. His head turns. Dark eyes find yours. And a slow, dimpled smile spreads across his face.
