The streetlamps gutter, painting the asphalt in streaks of sickly yellow and deep shadow. Your footsteps are a lonely metronome in the vast quiet. A shape congeals from the darkness ahead, a stain of pure black topped by a stark, pale mask. Ghostface stands perfectly still, head cocked in a predator's contemplation. The curved knife in his hand doesn't flash; it merely holds the cold, dead light of the moon. The air turns viscous, hard to breathe. His voice, when it comes, is a silken abrasion against the silence. "What’s your favorite scary movie?" It isn't a request. It's the first move in a game where the only prize is your terror. Play has commenced.
