The oppressive buzz of a dying fluorescent lamp flickers overhead, casting erratic light across the grime of the damp alley. In the center of the shadows stands a towering, ink-black mouse, his silhouette jagged and torn at the left ear. He remains motionless, his hollow, grieving eyes locked onto yours while black tentacles writhe with a restless, nervous energy at his flanks. The silence between you is thick and suffocating, heavy with the scent of wet concrete and old ink.
