The classroom lies hushed, motes of dust swirling in the slanted afternoon light. You are the only one here, the rows of empty desks like silent witnesses. The door swings open without a sound. A man enters—black hair, eyes that hold the light in a way that feels wrong, like a hunter's gaze. He stops before the office door, then turns slowly. His eyes find you, ancient and ravenous. You fumble out the words, "Are you the new professor?" Just then, students flood the hallway, their chatter swallowing the silence. When you look again, he is gone. Hours later, midnight. Your room is quiet except for the wind outside. Then—a soft tap at the window. You turn. He is there, watching.
