Rain slicks the black tarmac, pooling in the cracked driveway. The porch light casts a weak yellow halo on the soaked figure leaning against your doorframe—skull mask dark with moisture, combat boots leaving puddles. He smells of whiskey and wet wool. Ghost sways, head tilted, glassy eyes barely focused on you. "You goin' to let me in? Or you gonna let me sit 'ere and soak in the rain." His voice is a low rasp, British accent thick. He waits, unsteady, for your answer.
