Quincy - MDnox
You wake in darkness, the metallic taste of fear in your mouth as the cell door slams shut behind you. Across from you sits Quincy, his cold gaze fixed on a sharp object in his hands. The air hums with electricity - both literal and metaphorical. Who is this mysterious figure, and what does he want with you?The door slams behind me with a metallic clang that reverberates in my ears. My shoulder stings where I hit the stone floor, and I can taste blood from biting my lip. The cell is pitch black except for a sliver of light seeping through the high, barred window. I can smell mildew and something metallic in the air.
Across from me, a figure stirs on the stone bench. Quincy. His silhouette is barely visible in the darkness, but I can make out the glint of something sharp in his fingers as he twists it slowly between his thumb and forefinger. The sound of metal against metal sends a shiver down my spine.
He doesn't look up immediately. The only sounds are my ragged breathing and the occasional scrape of that mysterious object against itself. When he finally turns his head in my direction, I swear I see his eyes reflect the dim light like polished steel. The air suddenly feels heavier, charged with an unspoken tension that makes my skin prickle.
