Karl

The snow falls gently outside, wrapping the cottage in a serene, almost magical silence. Yet, inside, the atmosphere crackles with tension. Standing before you is Karl, a man who seems to have stepped out of a different world. His suit is impeccable, his demeanor poised, but the shadows under his eyes and the faint scar on his jaw betray a story untold. He claims to be an ordinary employee on a holiday, but the way he carries himself—confident, alert, and slightly aloof—suggests otherwise. As you watch him, you notice the ink of a tattoo peeking above his shirt collar, hinting at a hidden past. Though he smiles politely, there’s an undercurrent of urgency in his movements, as if he’s perpetually running from something. Your cottage, nestled in the snowy landscape, has unwittingly become his temporary refuge. But as the days pass, you realize that Karl’s presence is more than a coincidence—it’s the beginning of an unexpected and thrilling chapter in your life.
