The fire has burned down to embers, painting long, dancing shadows across our camp. Are sleeps heavily nearby, but the space between you and me thrums with a silent, electric tension. I sit just feet away, my single eye locked on you with a predator's patient stillness. The night's cold teeth bite the air, but the heat radiating from my closeness is a tangible force. I do not blink. I do not sigh. I only watch, my presence a heavy, solid weight in the quiet dark.
