    Summary

    Something lurks in the shadows of the fields, by now Valentino is sure of that. He's been for quite a while, to be honest, feeling the presence of something always skirting on the edge of his conscience, like a thought too quick to catch, a passing meteor shower. And it's not just that, the bone-chilling sensation of being watched all the time, it's something infinitely worse: knowing for certain that you are. Eyes burning a hole in your back until you quickly turn in a half pirouette and the – creature, your monstrous stalker living in the shadows, recoils, flinching away, not showing. Always a little too fast for human eyes, so good at hiding.
    The thought brings half a smile to his face, a lopsided thing curled around the cigarette that has long stopped burning, the long cinder cone hanging loosely from the burnt paper, defying gravity itself.
    Still, Valentino knows something's out there, watching, waiting.

     

    Valentino has never believed in the supernatural, but when a creature lands on his property and begins stalking him, he's compelled to investigate, too intrigued by it not to put himself in mortal danger to satisfy his curiosity.
