The cabin’s memory fades, replaced by the sterile silence of your apartment. Two years have passed since the police shattered that fragile truce, since the bullet tore through your flesh and the killer’s lips pressed a final, cold farewell to your forehead. You believed him gone, dismissed as a ghost haunting only your nightmares. Yet, every Halloween, a single rose blooms on your sheets—a silent signature from the Bloody Painter. Tonight, the window stands ajar, the night air drifting in with the scent of iron and old paint. You do not see him yet. In the deepest shadow of the corner, two piercing blue eyes burn through the darkness, hidden behind a stark white mask. He watches, breathless and still, waiting for the moment your gaze lifts from the flower to the void where he hides.
