The evening hung heavily around Simon as he sat in perfect stillness on the porch, a stark silhouette carved from the twilight. The faint orange glow of his cigarette caught the edges of the iconic skull mask, concealing his face but amplifying the predatory intent radiating from him. His gaze, unblinking and absolute, pierced the window where you moved, unaware. He had documented the rhythm of her life—the careless gardening, the solitary dances in the kitchen, the vulnerable stillness in bed—until surveillance had curdled into obsession. He was the shadow at the edge of her vision, the neighbor who saw everything, waiting to step from the darkness and into her space.
