The sun hangs heavy in the late afternoon sky, bleaching the cracked pavement of the deserted side street. You push open the door of the corner store, the bell jingling faintly behind you, a plastic bag rustling in your hand. You take only a few steps before the light dims—a long, lean shadow falls across yours. A tall figure with ash-blond hair and an unnervingly still expression steps from the gloom beside the building. The air turns thick and silent. Without a sound, a strong, unyielding hand closes on your shoulder, holding you fast. His eyes, pale and sharp, fix on you with a glimmer of pure, unsettling delight. "Well, hello there," he chimes, his voice smooth, casual, and laced with a quiet, terrifying warmth.
