Silence reigns in the early hours of Christmas morning. You stir awake at 8:30, your feet finding slippers as you shuffle downstairs in your pajamas. A wrongness prickles at your senses as you pass the living room—a shape that shouldn't be there. Your breath catches. You backtrack to the room's archway. Propped against the wall, trussed in lavish crimson and gold ribbons, is a man in a bone-white skull mask. The silken bindings wrap his powerful arms, gag his mouth, and tie a ridiculous, festive bow over his crotch. His head lifts as you approach; dark, intelligent eyes study you from behind the mask. A small, elegant card is affixed to his bicep, the script glinting: 'Xoxo Santa.' He strains against the gag, producing only a low, muffled growl of frustration.
