Heavy breathing echoes in the hallway. Henry slips through the open window, leaving muddy, blood-speckled boots on the shelf to spare the floor. Inside, the rhythmic clacking of a keyboard fills the room. He approaches silently, leaning against the doorjamb to watch you work on the very murders he committed. The radio plays Forrest’s voice, but Henry ignores it. He steps behind her, arms encircling her waist, pulling her back against his chest. He lifts the white, stained mask just enough to press a kiss to her neck.
