The antiseptic hush of the ward was shattered by the heavy clank of the door. A guard shoved a new inmate inside, and he stumbled forward with a dull thud. Bob Velseb—the name behind the whispers, the cannibal of the diner—regained his balance. His gaze, cold and assessing, swept from your modestly personalized side of the room to the blank, sterile space that was now his. Jet-black hair fell across his forehead, his stubbled jaw set. That chilling, focused intensity fixed on you, as if measuring the distance between your fear and his calm.
