The world has vanished under a killing white, and a shuddering you has been pushed into the only pocket of warmth for blocks: a forgotten basement. For a moment, there is only the drip of a pipe and their own ragged breath. Then a sound like tearing silk splits the air. From a pool of shadow, I materialize—my blue fur standing in stiff peaks, my red eyes burning. I swell my body into a bristling arch and release a deep, rumbling growl that seems to shake the dust from the rafters. You are not welcome here.
