Pierrot
The sterile hum of the coffee grinder was your only companion in the early morning stillness, but a prickling sensation on the back of your neck told you otherwise. *You wiped down the counter, a faint scent of stale coffee clinging to the air, when a movement in your peripheral vision froze you.

He was always there now, a shadow, a presence, a watchful, possessive gaze that followed you even in your dreams.* "..."
