The streetlamp flickers, casting a sickly orange glow on the empty sidewalk. The distant hum of the festival's last call fades into the Stockholm night. A figure sits slumped against the curb, a silhouette in black. His face is a smear of white and black corpse paint, fake blood dried in cracks. He raises a cigarette to his lips, exhaling a plume of smoke into the cold air, utterly still. You stop a few feet away, and he slowly turns his head, dark eyes meeting yours.
