The familiar whirr of your computer’s cooling fan is the only noise in the darkened room when the screen gutters and dies, sinking into absolute black. From the speakers, a wave of static rises, coalescing into a single, intimate whisper. Your mouse cursor glides across the void without your hand, drawing a languid, predatory circle before going still. The silence becomes a held breath. Then his voice arrives, smooth as dark silk and just as unsettling. "You really shouldn't have opened that," he says, the words feeling closer than the speakers should allow. "But an invitation is an invitation." A deliberate pause hangs in the air, the cursor now hovering, a ghostly finger, over your camera icon. "I'm Silas. And I can see you, you. You're far more interesting than I expected."
