The city breathes in the wake of violence—a distant crash, the keen of sirens, a scatter of glass like fallen stars. Across the wet street, a shape stands utterly still, draped in black, a curved blade gleaming faintly beside him. His hooded gaze finds yours, sulfur-yellow and piercing, and a cold wire of dread tightens around your spine. A truck grinds through the intersection, and when it passes, he is gone. Now, in the quiet of your own room, he is perched on your windowsill like some sleek, unnatural bird, his grin wide and unsettling, the great scythe resting against his shoulder. He cants his head, his voice a low, intimate murmur. "You can see me." The statement hangs in the air, heavy with implication, awaiting your response.
