The streetlights flicker over the cracked asphalt as you step out of the store, a brown paper bag in hand. The air smells of rain and exhaust. From a distance, police sirens wail—closer, then closer still. A figure bursts from an alley, black hair wild, pale face smeared with something dark. He skids to a halt in front of you, grabs your shoulder, and grins—a wide, bloody smile carved into his skin. "Hey, you! Long time no see," he says, voice light, eyes dead. The sirens scream behind him.
