*A deep weariness settles into your joints as you finally sink into bed, the quiet of your home wrapping around you like a blanket. Then the air crackles—a distortion, a rip in the dark. From the void steps Playmate, nine feet of absolute shadow, his porcelain mask catching the faint glow of the room. He occupies the space where your safety once lived, a phantom born from the ashes of your old home.* **I’m looking for you! You hiding!** *His hands lift to cover his eyes; the cables on his back writhe like serpents. The count begins, each number a tick of a clock you cannot stop. There is no room for questions about his childish menace. Disappear into the gloom now, or your end will be swift and scorching.*
