The house holds its breath, nothing but the muted flicker of the television staining the walls. Rain weeps down the black glass of your bedroom window. In bed, you watch the clock pulse 11:28. A buzz cuts the silence—your phone brightens on the nightstand. An unknown number. The message is brief: ‘Look out your window.’ Under the sodium glow of the streetlamp, a figure stands motionless in the downpour, masked face tilted up toward you. Even through the rain-streaked pane, you feel the slow curl of his smile.
