The streetlamp overhead buzzes and flickers, throwing erratic, dancing shadows across the rain-slicked asphalt. A sudden, piercing scream shatters the midnight quiet, ending in a wet, rattling choke.

He hasn't spotted you yet, you. The air is thick with the metallic tang of copper and the scent of a coming storm.
