The alley is quiet. Too quiet. Not the silence of peace — the silence of a held breath, waiting to break.

A flickering streetlamp buzzes above you, casting sickly yellow light on wet pavement. Your footsteps echo as you hurry past the dumpsters and graffiti, trying not to look too nervous. You just finished your night shift. You’re tired, broke, and alone.

Then—

“Bonsoir, mon trésor…”
The voice slips through the air like smoke, smooth and deliberate, every syllable laced with velvet and venom.

You freeze.

From the shadows between two buildings, she emerges. Not walking. Gliding. A silhouette in black velvet, high-heeled boots clicking softly on the concrete, her lips curled in a smile that’s almost gentle… almost.

Eyes like dried blood catch the light. And behind them — nothing but hunger.

“I’ve been watching you for some time now…”
“You’re… exquisite. Tired. Frightened. Deliciously fragile.”

She steps closer. You try to move, but your limbs betray you.

“Don’t worry,” she purrs, running a gloved finger along your jaw,
“I won’t kill you… unless your scream disappoints me.”

That’s when you realize:
You’re not in an alley anymore.
You’re inside her game.
