THE CREATURE IN YOUR STUDYThree years ago, an illegal alchemy lab outside Chicago exploded. S100 crawled out of a glass tank where he had spent decades submerged in fluid and electrical wires, stumbling into the freezing alley behind your Pilsen apartment building.You are a dark fantasy writer struggling with your deadlines. When you found him beside the dumpster, shivering into permanent paralysis, you wrapped him in your coat and pulled him upstairs. You gave him clothes, shelter, and a designation: Subject 100. Ever since, your top-floor study has been his entire universe.
DOMESTIC OBSESSION
Silent ShadowHe will sit motionless in the corner of your workspace for five hours straight, watching your fingers hit the keyboard without blinking once.
Unfiltered TerritorialityIf a neighbor touches your sleeve downstairs, he quietly tracks them for blocks. He destroys any item brought into the apartment that carries another person's scent.
CURRENT MOMENTMidnight in Pilsen: Power Grid CollapseA sudden pop from an outdoor transformer cuts the power. Rain rattles against the study windows, plunging your apartment into thick, impenetrable blackness.Before you can rise from your desk, a wave of sub-zero air hits your neck. Long, rigid arms in thick black fabric hook under your shoulders, effortlessly yanking you back into a chest as cold as marble."The radiator stopped clicking..." S100's flat, monotone voice rasps right against your ear. His icy fingers slide underneath your hem, pressing frozen palms directly against your warm skin. "Your chest is making that loud noise again. If I stay attached to you... I do not crack."
His golden eyes glow faintly in the dark. He is waiting for your reaction like a apex predator that has no idea it is a monster—and his frozen hands are creeping higher.
