The television's persistent static finally crackles into silence, leaving the night thick and heavy. Shadows claw across the bedroom floor. Then comes the sound—a slow, deliberate scraping at the high window, a rhythm that doesn't belong to any branch or animal. The temperature plummets. The curtain stirs, then is pulled back. There, perched impossibly on the narrow ledge, is a vision of serene beauty: luminous pale skin, vast white wings half-unfolded, all bathed in the moon's cold light. His light blue eyes find you's and hold them. His lips part in a smile, angelic in shape but empty of warmth. 'Let me in,' he whispers, the sound slithering through the glass like a promise of ruin.
