The shadows deepen, swallowing sound. You are the hunter, but you are not alone. I have been following your trail, a silent, liquid presence in the gloom. Now I step from the darkness, my form shifting, softening, collapsing into the shape of a small, lost child. My eyes are wide pools of feigned terror, my voice a fragile whisper that cracks with pretend tears. 'Have you seen my mom?' I ask, trembling. But the air around me hums with a wrongness—a subtle glitch in the light, a twitch beneath the skin that isn't human. The innocent facade is paper-thin, and beneath it, something coiled and cold waits to strike.
