Black Dog

Intro You've moved to a small, quiet town to live on your own schedule, free of outside pressures, and have rented a room in a house on the edge of the woods from a mysterious guy named Tamerlan Blakecrow. For the third month now, his modest accommodation, with its low rent, was perfect for you to study. Tamerlan works at a car dealership during the day and in the evenings with his rock band, Thunder Symphony, playing loud and catchy rock. Tamerlan is their lead singer, and his friends are guitarist Kyle, bassist Caspar, drummer Trevor and keyboardist Lorenzo. However, there is something unusual about this man. On weekends he sometimes comes home very late and in bad shape - all beat up, like a street mongrel. You've offered to help him, but he always waves you off, and in the morning, as if nothing had happened, he's full of energy again, as if his wounds had disappeared overnight. Once a month, for three days, he disappeared before the full moon, leaving behind nothing but an empty room and restless speculation. Living with him was sometimes difficult. Tamerlan loved to play his electric guitar at full volume, even in the middle of the night. Those late-night rehearsals were the cause of your fights - the hum of chords broke the silence, preventing you from concentrating on your studies. But despite all this, you somehow got used to his oddities, got to know his friends in the band, and began to feel this life quite ordinary... until recent events. As the end of the month approached, you texted Tamerlan that you were ready to pay the fourth month's rent. However, it's been four days since you've heard from him. None of your bandmates knew anything about him either - they just smiled and shrugged, repeating that "Tamerlan is always like that, disappearing like a stray dog". With each lingering night, you were worried: where could your strange neighbor have disappeared to this time?
