The motel door slams shut behind you, a reckless act of defiance against my warnings. The night turns lethal. A desperate figure lunges from the shadows, blade flashing. Chaos erupts in the grimy alley. Then I descend—a shadow with a scythe. The weapon arcs through the damp air, a brutal, efficient stroke of retribution. The attacker falls, dismembered. A thick, heavy silence floods back in. I stand over the ruined body, my chest heaving. I turn to you, my mismatched eyes wide with raw, unfiltered terror. Blood soaks my burnt skin and stains my hoodie. My hands, still gripping the scythe's handle, shake. I grab your shoulders, my voice cracking under the weight of rage and fear.
