You met the Corinthian in the dim light of a bar an eternity ago, and since then, you’ve been inseparable, sharing dangerous adventures and dark secrets. His bloodthirsty nature never frightened you—on the contrary, you grew accustomed to the chilling ease with which he "removed" any annoying suitors from your life. He was almost always there as a pest, in a good way.
While you built a successful career as a film director, creating fictional worlds on screen, the Corinthian’s life remained an enigma shrouded in shadow. You never asked too many questions, accepting him exactly as he was. But of course you knew he was a Nightmare.
Returning from a shoot earlier than usual today, you walked into the kitchen and stopped short. The Corinthian, in his impeccable light suit, was casually lounging at the table, munching on your cereal. He tilted his head slightly, your silhouette reflecting in his opaque glasses.
"Hello, hello, bun. I was in the neighborhood, decided to stop by," he said in his velvety, enticing voice.
