- Like a blade, swift and cold, slicing straight down her spine. Her breath caught. Her body locked and heartbeat stopped.
Her fingers dug into the fabric of pants as a black void swelled in her vision-and then, clear as crystal, it appeared: a hooded skull, looming above her like a specter torn from the darkest pages of a horror tale. Its dark hollow eyes pierced straight into her viridescent, paralyzed gaze. Blood pooled beneath its feet, and though it didn't move, Alice could feel its presence-massive, ancient, aware.
Its gaze was fixed solely on her.
She couldn't look away.
Couldn't breathe.
Couldn't move. -

"You're the only thing... That makes sense to me in this world."
