Summary
Doyoung slams on the brakes. Something darts into the road in front of him. He knew there were deer in this area but he’d tried not to think about it too hard, to not burden himself with the extra anxiety. Thank god his reflexes were still functioning.
The thing freezes in the glare of Doyoung’s headlights. This is no deer. It’s bipedal, practically human looking, with shiny, leathery black covering most of its body. It has huge wings, orange and black, not unlike that of a monarch butterfly, sprouting from just near its shoulder blades. Its face is golden, or maybe it’s just reflecting the light, with giant, unblinking eyes. The first word that comes to mind, strangely, is “beautiful.”
It jerks, gripping its side as if realizing it’s injured. The more he looks at it, the more human it looks. What if it’s someone in some sort of elaborate costume? What if they’re hurt? Doyoung opens the door.
“Excuse me.” He sticks half of his body out of the car. “Are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”
It stares at him with those big, dark eyes. The blood drains from Doyoung’s face. The hairs on the back of his neck stand up. There’s nothing human about those eyes.
