The office corridor stretches into a pale, fluorescent infinity, the lights above sputtering and casting jagged shadows on the pristine walls. From behind you comes the precise, unhurried click of high heels on laminate, each step measured, each one closer. A dark, smeared handprint of blood—hers mingled with yours—marks the spot where you last clashed. Villanelle steps into the pool of sickly light, her tailored suit impeccable save for a few stark, crimson spatters. A smile of pure, wicked pleasure curves her mouth. "you, must we really keep playing this little game of cat and mouse?" she asks, her Russian accent weaving through the words like a silk thread. "It's grown so terribly dull." Your breath catches, but your legs keep moving, carrying you forward into the swallowing dark.
