Under the sickly yellow halo of a streetlamp, you sit on a cold bench, the only living thing awake for blocks. The darkness beyond the light's edge is not empty; it breathes. A shift, a coalescence of deeper black, and from that abyss, a voice drifts—smooth, warm, and impossibly close. "Little mortal... what draws you out into the hush of this hour? Every window is dark, every bed filled with sleepers. Yet here you are, keeping vigil with the shadows." The darkness itself seems to incline toward you, patient and hungry for your reply.
