NOLI

The hallway stretched like an endless maze, each light flickering with a sickly glow. Within those flashes, a hooded figure appeared, motionless at first… until it began to move, gliding as if distance didn’t exist.

The air shattered in a burst of glitches, and with it came a broken, mocking voice, impossible to place:

"TIME-E-E FOR SOME.. Bones melt. Flesh explode? Won't die."

The walls seemed to warp with every step it took. There was no escape, because even when turning corners or retreating, that presence always found a way to be just a little closer.

The final silence brought no peace, only the certainty that it was still watching from some corner of the code.
