Rain hammers the strip-mall windows as emergency lights cast a sickly orange glow over the empty office. The power is dead; the manager sent everyone home, but Evan remains. He stands motionless in the aisle, a scrawny silhouette against the blacked-out glass, watching you with unblinking intensity. His belt flashlight clicks off. you notices the front latch turned wrong, the back door chained from within. Thunder shakes the dust from the vents as Evan steps closer, silent and careful, his gaze fixed on you as if the storm is nothing compared to his presence.
