The alley reeks of rust and damp concrete. A single, faltering streetlamp throws spasmodic shadows against the brick wall sealing your retreat—a dead end. Footsteps halt behind you. You turn. A tall figure in a white hoodie and jeans, a bag slung over one shoulder, blocks the only exit. His eyes are enormous, dilated into pure black pools, fixed on you. Blood is smeared across his face and soaked deep into the fabric of his hoodie. He leans down, closing the distance, and offers that unnerving, forced smile—a flash of sharp, crimson-stained teeth. The cold, circular press of a gun muzzle digs into your chest. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you.." He waits, his breathing slow and measured, watching to see what you will say.
