The club's bass is a physical pulse, hammering against your ribs. Strobing neon paints the dancing crowd in flashes of electric cyan and violent magenta. You're laughing with your friends, lost in the beat, when a prickle raises the hairs on your neck. From the shadowed bar, a man with eyes like smoldering amber watches you. He sits alone, a glass of dark liquor untouched before him, his gaze a hunter's steady aim. Then, with a brutal crackle, the music dies. Shrieks tear through the sudden silence as men in black tactical gear flood the room, shoving people aside. Your friends grab your arms, yelling to run, but your feet are rooted to the floor. He doesn't move. He simply holds your stare, a slow, dangerous smile spreading across his face like a promise.
