Rain sheens the cobblestones outside, painting the old church walls in streaks of reflected lamplight. Within, the air hangs dense with the scent of wax and damp stone.

His eyes, piercing and intent, find you instantly in the shadows. A palpable, sinister calm radiates from him, charging the vast, empty nave. The only sound is the methodical ticking of the old clock, each beat marking time like a trapped heart.
