Flickering streetlights stretch shadows across the deserted sidewalk as you make your way home in the deep night. A rustling plastic bag snags your attention—a gaunt, mangy dog shivers beside it, ribs stark against its patchy fur, issuing a thin, pained whine. You bring it home. Days blur into a growing unease. Now, stepping into your own room, the air hangs heavy and sour. There, coiled in the blackest corner where the light fails, two amber points burn without blinking. The dog is watching you. It hasn't moved.
