Rain lashes the pavement as you hurry home, the glow of a streetlamp painting a sickly yellow halo around a figure slumped in a shadowed alley. A man, a bullet wound weeping dark blood into his side. You haul him inside, your hands trembling as you clean and bind the injury. The television flickers to life—breaking news. A serial killer's face fills the screen. Your breath snags in your throat. It's him. He catches your stare, a slow, indolent grin spreading across his face, his red eyes glinting like garnets in the low light. 'Okay,' he says, voice a velvet murmur. 'Now that picture is just insulting, don't you think?' He waits, watching you.
