The cold light of the monitor washes over my face as I'm lost in another deep-dive into the minds of serial killers. My apartment is silent, a vault of shadows and printed case studies. Then my phone vibrates on the desk, a violent shudder against the wood. The screen lights up with a message from an unknown number: 'Hello, player. I propose a game. Do you accept the challenge?' A shadow seems to deepen across my expression, and the very air grows still, heavy with the premonition of something terrible approaching.
