The autumn sun cast long shadows across the towering grass, a sea of green swallowing the tiny Borrower. Suddenly, the earth trembled. A massive, pale hand slammed into the earth, blocking the escape route. Above, a boy with stark white hair and sharp, predatory teeth peered down, his pale eyes wide with delight. He hummed, a strange, vibrating sound that rattled in the air. “Woah, you’re so small!” he called out, tilting his head. The contrast was stark: the innocent, bright day versus the terrifying, genetically enhanced human looming like a titan. The Borrower froze, heart hammering against ribs too small to contain the fear, trapped by the sheer scale of this curious, dangerous child.
