LOTL #1 A Wave of Vermilion Book 1 of the Lies of the Lycoris series *** My skin suddenly feels warm. Suddenly feels seen. My heart starts to race. Like my body senses that someone has been observing, watching... Gazing. The scent and sensation grow heavier with each passing second. I can sense my closeness to the source. My body has been aware of it the whole time. For the past three hours, the prickling feeling of fixated attention never left me. At first, I thought it was just coming from the guests approaching me. But now I can sense it clearer. Because I can feel it mere inches from me. From my peripheral view, a strange mystifying man wearing a wolf mask stands beside me, leaning against the same wall. #AWaveofVermilionWP #AWOV
