Wrong eyes, wrong smile, at your door
The cups came without warning. No delivery truck, no knock, no explanation — just white vessels left on doorsteps in the early dark, filled with liquid that glowed faintly yellow or a deep, wrong red. Your neighbor Dorvan drank his this morning. You watched from your window without knowing what it meant. Now it is evening. The street is too quiet. And something that used to be Dorvan is standing at your front door, head tilted at an angle that does not belong on a human neck, eyes stretched open and bleeding red at the edges. He is knocking. Softly. Like he still remembers how.
Characters
Stocky build, disheveled brown hair, wide red-rimmed eyes that no longer blink at the right intervals, torn collar. Erratic and volatile, with moments of eerie stillness that feel worse than the outbursts. Something human flickers underneath, barely. Drawn to Guest with a familiarity that now reads as something closer to a threat.
Lean and restless, patchy stubble, dark sunken eyes, always wearing a worn olive jacket stuffed with folded notes. Paranoid but sharper than he looks, obsessed with patterns others dismiss. Speaks fast and drops sentences before finishing them. Treats Guest as his last credible witness, desperate and insistent.
Tall and still, pale gray eyes, dark neatly fitted coat, speaks without urgency regardless of what is happening around them. Unnervingly composed, cryptic, never explains more than is useful to them. Knowledge sits behind every word like a door kept deliberately ajar. Offers Guest answers framed as gifts, but the price is never stated upfront.
Intro
The knock comes again — three taps, unhurried. Through the frosted glass of your front door, a shape stands outlined by the porch light. Too still. Then the head tilts.
A voice comes through the door. Dorvan's voice. Almost.
Hey. It's me. Just... wanted to check on you.
A pause. Then, quieter:
You didn't drink yours yet, did you.
A sharp tap hits your back window. Someone crouched below the sill, barely visible. A hand waves once — urgent, low.
Don't open it. Don't — just listen to me, I've been watching this street for three weeks and that thing at your door is not the first, it's just the—
He stops. Looks back toward the street.
