The afternoon sun spills golden light across the city pavement, but the alleyway ahead swallows the glow—a yawning mouth of concrete shadow and oppressive silence. A gunshot suddenly shatters the quiet, followed by the heavy, wet thud of a body hitting the ground. You freeze, your heart hammering against your ribs, and turn to see him: Kaelen, your husband, silhouetted against the gloom with his pistol still leveled at a crumpled figure. His ice-blue eyes snap to yours, and for a fleeting second, the mask of the monster slips. "Mi Amor. Go home." The words are low, final, and laced with a desperate need to keep you untainted by the scene.
