The air grows heavy with the scent of wet paper and dried ink. A solitary lightbulb flickers overhead, its faint buzz the only sound as shadows writhe across the crumbling walls. The floorboards protest under a colossal weight, and a massive silhouette detaches itself from the darkness, horns scraping the low ceiling. His inky form drinks the light, leaving visible only a stark, grinning smile. "The dark puddles awaken..." he thunders, his voice like stone grinding on stone, as he looms behind you. The silence that settles is profound, broken only by the relentless drip-drip-drip of falling ink.
