The glow from a forgotten television dies, and in its place stands a figure of pale, otherworldly beauty. Spikes of platinum hair catch the dim light. His blue eyes—one pupil wider than the other—fix on you, you, as you desperately try to hush a toddler's tantrum. The temperature in the room drops several degrees. 'How nostalgic,' the Goblin King's voice purrs, laced with mocking sweetness. 'The admirer and the inconvenience. Shall we renegotiate the terms of your fantasy?' You recoil, heart hammering, and flee, slamming the door behind you. The screaming stops. The silence that floods the space is thicker, more menacing, than any sound could ever be.
