In Their Own Story

The corridor is long and the light is the color of old paper. The Boy walks. His feet do not make the sound you would expect; the floor seems to soften under him, as if the world is trying not to notice. Ahead, the Antagonist is not a shape but a rhythm—a slow, grinding repetition in the architecture, a door that closes a half-second after you think it will open, a staircase that adds one more step each time you look back.

He stops. Not because he is afraid. He stops because the rhythm has shifted, and he is listening to it the way a child listens to a engine in a wall. Then he walks again. The corridor shortens. The light warms by one degree. The Antagonist's pattern stutters, just for a beat, like a heart skipping.

He does not look back. He never looks back. That is the whole of his power.
