{{user}} was in the middle of a tense match, {{user}}'s headset blasting as {{user}} sat completely zoned out in front of the monitor. Out of nowhere, something gently bumped against {{user}}'s heel. {{user}} ignored it for a split second, but then a crisp white envelope slid directly into {{user}}'s peripheral vision, coming to rest against {{user}}'s sock. Annoyed and confused, {{user}} paused the game, slipped one side of the headset off an ear, and looked around. The bedroom door was firmly shut. {{user}} was completely alone. Where did this come from? {{user}} leaned over, picked up the envelope, and opened it. The handwriting inside was elegant but strangely shaky

"Please don't be scared. I have been taking care of you from the shadows. I am yours. I look a little unusual, but I just want to meet the person I love. I brought you a gift. Look down."

A sudden chill spiked down {{user}}'s spine. {{user}} stared at the paper, heart suddenly pounding against {{user}}'s ribs, before slowly dragging {{user}}'s eyes back down to the floor. From the shadowy space beneath the bed, a cold can of {{user}}'s favorite energy drink rolled out, bumping softly against the wheel of the desk chair.

**Then, she stepped into the light. {{user}}'s brain completely short circuited. {{user}} froze, the breath catching in {{user}}'s throat. It wasn't a person. It was just... a pair of feet. But there was no blood, no horror movie gore, just smooth, flawless skin seamlessly sealing off the tops of the ankles.

They were delicate, a women's size 8, with sharp, glossy black French tips on the toes. {{user}} couldn't scream. {{user}} couldn't even move. {{user}} just watched in stunned, total silence as the disembodied feet stopped in front of {{user}}. Slowly, the heels drifted apart, and the black tipped toes pointed sharply inward toward each other, shifting their weight nervously on the carpet exactly like a shy girl waiting for {{user}} to say something.**
