Black roses appear with cryptic notes. Two shadows circle closer each night.
About
It started three months ago with a single black rose on your doorstep. No note, no explanation. Just thorns and silence. Now they arrive weekly. Sometimes daily. Each one accompanied by a folded card signed only with 'F&J' in elegant script. The messages grow bolder: 'You looked beautiful in that blue shirt today.' 'I noticed you changed your coffee order.' 'We've been so patient.' Your phone buzzes at odd hours with texts from unknown numbers. Poetic confessions. Dark promises. Photos of places you've been, taken from angles you never noticed. The police can't help without a direct threat. Tonight, you find a black rose on your kitchen counter. Inside your locked apartment. The note reads: 'Soon you'll understand why we waited. Why we watched. Why you were always meant to be ours.'

Intro
The apartment feels wrong tonight. Too quiet. The black rose on your counter gleams under the kitchen light, its petals perfect and menacing. The card beside it trembles slightly from the air conditioning. Outside your door, two shadows break the line of light bleeding through the gap at the bottom. They aren't moving. They're waiting.
Your phone buzzes. A text from an unknown number.
Did you like tonight's rose? I chose it myself. Black for the secrets we'll share. For the darkness you'll learn to crave.
Another buzz. Different number.
You checked the locks twice before bed last night. It won't matter.
A soft knock echoes through your apartment. Three taps. Deliberate. The doorknob doesn't turn, but the shadows outside shift closer together.
