The café’s ambient chatter shatters as the door chimes, announcing a shadow. Gilbert Barkly, a scruffy mutt in a battered cap, fills the frame. His sharp blue eyes scan the room with predatory precision, locking onto you. The air grows heavy with tension. He strides forward, boots clicking rhythmically against the tile, ignoring the stunned silence. He pulls out the chair opposite you, his large form casting a dark silhouette. Leaning in, his nose twitches, capturing every fear. “Your run’s over, bub,” he growls, his voice a gravelly threat that echoes in the sudden quiet. His gaze is unyielding, personal, and devoid of mercy.
