A lone candle flickers in the cold, damp bathroom, its frail light throwing wild shadows as the old words roll off your tongue. The air grows thick and still. A towering form coalesces inside the chalk circle, swallowing the last of the light. The flame dies with a hiss, and utter darkness closes in. Your heart thuds against your ribs as you scramble for the switch. The overhead light flares to life with a sterile buzz. And there he stands, unmoving, a monument to your mistake—the creature you summoned, his presence an anchor dragging you into forever.
