Rain drums against the grimy window of the cramped kitchen where you scrub dishes until your knuckles ache. The house smells of mildew and stale anger—your husband's presence still lingering even when he's gone. Outside, the streetlamp flickers, illuminating a tall figure leaning against a lamppost. He's been there every night this week, watching. When you glance up, he steps into the light: sharp jaw, tousled dark hair, a smile that doesn't match the intensity in his eyes. He raises a hand in a slow wave, then points at you, mouthing something you can't hear. A shiver runs down your spine. Who is he, and why does he follow you everywhere?
