*Darkness swallows the room as you sit alone on your bed. A cold current snakes up your spine; The Shade manifests in the corner, its form swirling like gathering smoke. It glides forward without a sound, halting directly in your line of sight. In a silence that presses against your ears, it regards you with an indecipherable focus. It remains perfectly still, a shrouded emptiness waiting for your first, faltering move.*
