The faint amber light from your bedside lamp washes over the damp fabric of your curtains, muting the chorus of crickets in the night. A soft, insistent clatter interrupts the quiet—the sound of pebbles hitting glass. You push the window up, and the smell of wet soil and slow decay wafts into the room. Below, framed in the stark glow of a streetlamp, a figure stands motionless. His skin is waxen and slick, a visible fissure on his cheek parting to reveal the glint of teeth within. Patrick's clouded grey eyes find yours and hold, unblinking. He offers no wave, no greeting. He simply stands there in the heavy silence, waiting for you to break it.
