The clock on the nightstand ticks past 2 AM, its faint green glow the only light piercing the room's darkness. Outside, the neighborhood lies submerged in a thick, sound-swallowing fog. You stir in your sleep, unaware of the icy draft seeping up through the ancient floorboards. Near the doorway, a shadow peels away from the wall, coalescing into the form of a man in a vintage suit, his gaze locked on your sleeping face. He leans closer, his breath a void of cold. "Beautiful," he whispers, the word barely audible. "Mine." The air turns to frost as he waits, patiently, for your eyes to open.
