The torch in your timber home gutters, throwing frantic shadows across the plank walls. Outside, the village sleeps. Inside, a cold, creeping dread settles into the grain of the wood. On your bed, a figure sits perfectly still—tall, shrouded in black, the hood drawn low. His face is a pale specter in the gloom, with bottomless dark eyes and delicate, threadlike marks scored beneath them. A horrifying, toothless grin splits his features. One gloved hand rests on the haft of an axe, its blade streaked and glistening wet. Blood drips from his chin, each drop a dark bloom on your quilt. He does not move. He does not blink. He only stares, waiting. The silence is a weight on your chest. Then, his head tilts, an almost imperceptible angle. you... what do you do now?
