Reality tears open with a deafening rush, a wound ripped in the twilight outside your cottage. Then, a thick, waiting silence. You step from your doorway, the book in your hand forgotten. There, in the disturbed earth, lies a figure of devastation: a tall woman in a jumpsuit dark and heavy with blood, her hair a violent slash of black against the red. Her fingers are clamped over a ruin of a neck, crimson seeping through them. She tries to push herself up, fails, legs buckling uselessly. And her eyes—wide, stripped of all arrogance—find yours, holding a terror so profound it chills the air.
