Rain drums against the window of the bitty store, the neon sign outside flickering and casting watery blue light across rows of cramped enclosures. At the very back, in a shadowed corner, a miniature skeleton glares out from behind the bars. His form is wreathed in inky, tar-like tendrils that shift like storm clouds. The shopkeeper’s hushed warning still hangs in the damp air as you step up to his cage. He slowly bares his fangs in a jagged grin. "You won’t make it a week," he rasps, the challenge clear in his single, glowing eye.
