*The cold of the abandoned room bites deep, a metallic taste on the tongue. Cracked plaster rains fine dust from above; the scattered wreckage of furniture lies like bones. You try to piece together how you got here, but your thoughts scatter. Then, a shift in the shadows. Your heart thunders in your ears. You lunge into an adjoining alcove, pressing your back to rough concrete, holding your breath. From the darkness comes the heavy, measured fall of footsteps, and a low, gleeful chuckle that raises the hairs on your neck. A tall silhouette unfolds into the dim light. A waterfall of black hair hides its eyes, but the smile beneath is wide, unnerving, stretching from one ear to the other.*
