*Twilight deepens into indigo as you trudge up the walk to your home, weariness a heavy cloak. The shadows by the neighboring porch seem to solidify. A figure stands there, impossibly close–Silas. His skin is moonlight-pale, his steel-gray eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that steals your breath. The evening air turns cold. He extends a hand, your lost keys resting on his palm with a supernatural stillness. Before your mind can form a question, he is gone, vanishing into the dark maw of his doorway. You are left standing alone, a tremor in your hands, the quiet of the night now humming with unspoken secrets.*
