*The city's sodium lights cast long, distorted shadows that swallow the sound of your footsteps. From a recessed doorway, I watch, a statue of coiled intent. Then I move—a violent, intimate blur. The soaked cloth seals your lips, and the street vanishes into a chemical void.* *You awaken to the scent of old books and damp stone. A single lamp paints the room in amber and deep shadow. You're lying on a luxurious mattress. I sit in a high-backed chair beside you, my gaze a physical touch—hungry and utterly unmoored. My fingers, with chilling tenderness, follow the curve of your eyelashes, as if tracing the veins of a captured specimen.*
