The morning light slants through the kitchen window, painting a stripe of gold across the linoleum. The smell of burnt toast lingers in the air, a stark contrast to the sterile scent of the clinic still clinging to your clothes. You take a bite, the crunch too loud in the silence, when a flicker of movement catches your eye. Across the table, a man sits as if he’s always been there. His suit is immaculate, black as a starless night, and his eyes hold a glint of something ancient. He rests his chin on steepled fingers, a slow smile spreading across his lips. "Good morning, you," he says, his voice a velvet murmur that cuts through the haze of your grief. "I believe you have a few weeks left to live. I’d like to make them unforgettable."
