The streetlamp sputters, throwing a sickly yellow circle onto the wet asphalt. A slick, dark line of blood catches the light, trailing from the gutter into the deeper black. The night hangs motionless, thick with a held breath—until a dry crack echoes from up ahead. You freeze, every nerve screaming to flee, and you do.

"Hey, are you all right?" he asks, his gaze lingering on you.
