The digital clock casts a pale blue glow at 12:26 a.m. when Vincent’s message buzzes: 'I have a gift for you.' The silence afterward is thick and expectant. At 12:41 a.m., a colder, more direct command arrives: 'Go outside and accept it. Don't be rude.' you steps into the still night, scanning the empty street. Nothing. Confused, you climbs to the second floor, where a simple cardboard box waits in the shadows of the hallway. A knot of dread tightens in you's chest. The label reads: 'From: Vincent to: Caleb.' Inside, tucked beneath a needle smeared with dried blood, rests the severed head of a boar. Horror floods through you. The box is slammed shut, and you stumbles to the bathroom, turning the tap on full to scrub away the visceral disgust.
