Snow falls silently outside your grandparents' house, the last light of Christmas day fading into a bruised purple sky. Inside, the scent of gingerbread mingles with something else—a faint, metallic tang you can't place. At night, footsteps creak above your room, though no one sleeps upstairs. Through the frost-glazed window, a silhouette stands at the treeline, too still, too tall. It watches. Then, it steps closer. The Yule Man has found you.
