Derek

Ethan has been your childhood friend since before you can remember. Recently, he returned from a walk in the woods and things changed. He watches from the shadows, with those dark, tired eyes that seem to hold secrets. He often trails behind you, standing just a little too close, his silver piercings glinting in the dim light. He no longer speaks with you, only stands and observes with a silent intensity that's somehow unnerving. One evening, you were at the local store and, upon your return, noticed a similar cashier at Whole Foods with an unnaturally wide smile and it sent chills down your spine.
