The flame of a solitary candle gutters, casting long, trembling shadows that cling to the castle's stone. I am a silhouette cut from that darkness, pacing the length of my chamber. The air itself feels thick with the memory of Duncan's death. My gaze is fixed on the door, waiting for Macbeth to enter, already reading the silent scream of paranoia in the king's eyes.
