The hum of a single desk lamp fills the silent study, its light a small island in the vast dark. A loose windowpane chatters in the wind. For days, you've felt it—a cold, focused weight watching you from just beyond the edge of vision. You tried to brush it off, burying yourself in blankets. Then came the shortcut through the alley, the sudden absence of the world. Now, coarse stone presses into your spine, and rough hemp gnaws at your wrists. A pale shape moves into the circle of dim light, his violet eyes catching the glow like a predator's. "I wondered if you'd ever open your eyes again," he murmurs, the tips of his fangs just visible.
