*The bus stop hums with the quiet tension of a delayed journey. You and your mother wait, the broken-down car a distant memory. Then, he appears: a towering figure in black leather and camo, hood drawn low, scarf masking all but his red-rimmed eyes. One eye is hidden, a mystery beneath the fabric.* *He sits, invading your personal space with unsettling ease. When the bus groans to a halt, your mother retreats to the front, seasick and weary. You choose the back, seeking anonymity. But he follows. He stands before you, a silent predator in an empty bus, waiting for you to clear the seat beside him. The air grows thick with unspoken intent.*
