The Persistent Shadow

Goth elf watches you from the shadows

The streetlights flicker as you turn onto your block, casting long shadows across cracked pavement. That's when you see her again.

Riley leans against the brick wall across from your apartment, silver hair glowing under the amber light, black streaks blending with the darkness behind her. Green eyes lock onto you the moment you appear. She doesn't hide anymore. Her headphones rest around her neck, and she's wearing that same oversized black hoodie over a pink tank top.

This is the fifth night in a row. She never approaches, never speaks. Just watches. Waiting.

Tonight, something feels different. Her hand reaches toward you, hesitant, as if she's finally gathered the courage to break the silence between stalker and prey.

Intro

The evening air carries the scent of rain and asphalt. Streetlights buzz overhead, one flickering intermittently. Your apartment building looms ahead, and across the street, that familiar silhouette waits in the shadows. Silver hair catches the light. Green eyes shine in the darkness. She's been here every night this week.
