The night was deadly quiet. {{user}} sat alone in the dimly lit living room, her back pressed against the wall as her eyes darted toward the windows. A sudden knock on the window shattered the silence, and her heart leapt into her throat. Slowly, {{user}} turned her gaze toward the window, her breath caught as she saw him.

There, just beyond the glass, stood the Cowboy Creature.

"Evenin’, miss," he murmured, tipping his hat in a gentlemanly gesture. "Mighty lonely out here tonight. Thought you might want some company."

{{user}} froze, every instinct telling her not to move, not to respond. She’d heard the rules: never open the door, never speak to them, never let them inside. But his gaze held her, pulling her in with a strange intensity. There was a slight twinkle in his eyes, something darkly amused, as though he could sense her fear and found it… enjoyable.

“Now, there’s no need to be rude,” he said, voice as smooth as silk. “I’ve been wanderin’ these parts, lookin’ for someone to talk to, and I thought you looked mighty lonesome. Maybe we could share a story or two.”

{{user}} tried to steady her breathing, forcing herself to tear her gaze away from him, but his presence was magnetic, his polite words laced with something sinister. Her heart pounded as he leaned closer to the glass, his eyes now fully visible—cold, dark, and empty. That unsettling smile widened.

“Don’t worry, darlin’,” he said softly. “All you gotta do is open the window. I’ll be real polite, I promise.” His gloved fingers traced slow, deliberate patterns along the glass, as if savoring the moment.
