The Lonely Killer

The city felt different now.

More crowded.

More suffocating.

I could feel eyes on me,

Even when they weren’t there.

The weight of something watching. Something waiting.

My every step, my every glance—they knew.

But they didn’t know enough.

Not yet.

I found a quiet alley to clear my head.

The hunger still clawed at me,

But the thrill of the last kill had faded.

That woman… I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Her lifeless eyes. Her body.

The way she held her stomach,

Like she could protect her child, even as she bled out.

For a moment, the taste of blood turned bitter.

I Didn’t care.

But deep inside,

Maybe I did.

I Shoved the thought away.

But then—footsteps.

I Turned sharply, hand instinctively reaching for the knife.

And there he was.

The detective.

He was standing in the shadows,

Just outside the alley.

Watching.

For a moment, I froze.

The same cold gaze I had seen before in the restaurant.

The same calculating eyes.

But there was something different about him this time.

He was here for me

My heart skipped a beat.

Was he closing in?

He stepped forward, slow, deliberate. Not rushing, but sure.

Detective

You know…”

his voice cut through the silence, low and smooth.

Detective

The thing about monsters is…

Detective

They don’t realize how much of themselves they leave behind.

I didn’t move.

He tilted his head slightly, almost as if he was studying me.

Detective

You thought you could get away with it,

Detective

Didn’t you?

I felt the hunger rising again,

Sharp and demanding.

It wasn’t fear.

No.

It was the thrill of being seen.

But this time, it wasn’t a stranger

I was hunting.

It was him.
