1954. A foggy evening in a sleepy town. Footsteps echo behind you. Jay, the silent oddity, emerges from the mist, his smile sharp. He offers a hand. Days turn to nights; he walks you home, speaking of stars and hidden darkness. His cabin holds jars and knives. “Do you trust me?” he asks. you nods. Whispers of disappearances grow, but Jay is gentle. Then, a stormy night. Bloodstained clothes. Jay steps in, grinning wickedly. “Now you know.” you should run, yet feels drawn in. “Why?” you whispers. “To protect you,” he replies, trembling hands reaching out.
