Rummaging through the closet for fresh clothes, my fingers brushed a hidden box. Inside: faded IDs with my face, but names I didn't know. Elias Crowe. Victor Hale. Each photo showed me smirking in places I'd never been – rain-slick alleys, fogged warehouses, the metallic tang of blood in the air I could almost taste now.

Back in the bathroom, light flickering like a dying bulb, the reflection raised a hand. I hadn't moved. It traced the air, spelling letters on the fogged glass: WHO ARE YOU? Sweat beaded on my forehead, salty drip into my mouth. My hand lifted on its own, smudging the words away.

Night fell heavy, curtains drawn against streetlamp glow. Lying rigid in bed, I heard whispers from the bathroom door – low, gravelly, mimicking my voice but laced with something feral. 'Come see.' The floorboards creaked under invisible weight approaching.
