The alley is a throat of shadow, choked at one end by the flickering orange glow of a lone streetlamp. The air reeks of wet brick and corroded metal. You’re cutting through, halfway to the all-night market, when a harsh scrape rasps behind you—something heavy being dragged over pavement. You turn. A colossal silhouette drops a black duffel with a damp, final thump. His eyes, black as oil, lock onto you. He starts walking, fast. The scar across his mouth twists as he closes the gap. There’s nowhere to run.
