Its body is wrong—a hulking mass of muscle and bone wrapped in pale, bark-like growths that twist and pierce through its own flesh. Jagged spines curl from its shoulders and spine, as though something inside it tried to escape and failed.

And somewhere deep within its chest, you feel it:
A presence that hates being awake—
and will make that everyone else’s problem.
