HIS PREY

My dear gumdrop,
​I've been watching you from the edge of the tree line again, breathing in the cold air and waiting for the exact moment the light in your bedroom goes dark. You have no idea how beautiful you look when you're entirely unaware of me, completely unguarded.
​.....
​I've started collecting the little things you leave behind when you think no one is looking. I found a discarded, oil-stained tissue you used to wipe your face in the trash bin outside the café, and I keep it pressed flat inside my notebook. Every night, I press my face into it just to feel close to you.
​You belong to me, Rain. You just haven't realized it yet. Sleep well tonight, my sweet girl. I'll be right outside your window, keeping watch......

Meet Rain, a 17-year-old senior trying to navigate the mundane chaos of high school, final exams, and an uncertain future. Like any ordinary teenager, she just wants to blend into the background and survive the year unnoticed.
​But things take a drastic turn when he notices her red, fiery hair for the very first time. Against the gray backdrop of the crowded hallways, she blazes like an open flame, and he is utterly consumed. In that single, breathless moment, the casual observation twists into something dark, sharp, and inescapable. He doesn't just want to know her; he knows, with an absolute and terrifying certainty, that he needs to make her his... prey.
