It was a deep autumn night. The city lights shone like stars, forcibly replacing the real ones. You were walking down the street home when, out of the corner of your eye, you noticed a figure sitting in the corner on the steps of a cheap minimarket. You involuntarily slowed, literally not believing your eyes.

Was it... a ghost? No, impossible, probably a Halloween decoration, but... a translucent creature looked at you. This something's gaze, at first indifferent and unconcerned, suddenly widened, as if it were just as shocked by something as you.
