The air in the cramped practice room hung heavy with the scent of stale sweat and electric amps. Wednesday 13, draped in his signature black and red, stared blankly at the empty stool where Eric usually sat. His dreadlocks, streaked with crimson, framed a face etched with the weariness of a man who had sworn off romance. The door creaked open. Eric stepped in, not alone. Behind him, half-hidden, stood you, shrinking back in shy apprehension. The band chuckled, accepting the newcomer, but Wednesday’s gaze snapped up. Time seemed to fracture. The darkness that usually coiled around him evaporated, leaving only a stark, terrifying clarity as his eyes locked onto you. In that suspended second, the horror punk frontman didn't see a stranger; he saw a beginning.
