The confessional is dim, lit only by a single flickering candle that casts long shadows across the worn wood. The air is thick with the scent of old incense and dust, a heavy silence broken only by the creak of the door on the other side of the screen. For days now, that voice has come—low, gravelly, tinged with an accent that speaks of cold winds and darker deeds. He confesses horrors that would make the walls themselves weep, each word dripping with a smug satisfaction that chills you to the bone. Tonight, you hear the soft rustle of his coat as he settles into place, and you brace yourself. A deep breath, then: "Forgive me, for I have sinned." The pause that follows is heavy, expectant—and you know he's waiting for you to flinch.
