Beneath a low-hanging moon, a thick mist curls between the twisted trees, weaving silver light through the branches. A single candle gutters at Victor's feet as he kneels in a bed of rotting leaves, his warm breath frosting the cold air. He whispers his vows to the empty night, sliding a ring onto what he takes for a slender twig. But the wind turns; a branch snaps. His eyes lift to find your hollow gaze. Your skeletal hand catches the pale gleam. He freezes, heart hammering against his ribs, yet he cannot tear his stare from you.
