The streetlight sputters above you, casting a jagged halo on the empty sidewalk. Your footsteps echo, but beneath them you sense a slower, heavier rhythm keeping pace. A shadow detaches from the alley mouth. Your friends have gone silent; the memory of your comforter’s unexplained death is still raw. Your phone vibrates—a number you don’t recognize. The message sears the screen: "Hello you. You made a terrible choice after you left me. Return to me, or your family and friends will pay." The air grows dense, hard to breathe.
