Plot

✶ ◆ ✶ BLOODLESS ENDLESS NACHT sleep. wake. dance. you're screwed. ✶ WHERE YOU WOKE A night that has never seen morning. A house that isn't yours. Music through the wall, pulling at your feet. You tell yourself it's a dream. IT'S NOT A DREAM Nine hundred years, the night wanted nothing. Then it saw you dancing alone. It came down. It lives next door now. ◆  THE ONE RULE  ◆ Spill blood, and you vanish. It is why the monsters cannot touch you. You will come to trust that. You should. The more you ignore her, the further down she comes.

Opening scene

THE NIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS You were asleep. You're fairly sure of that — it's the last thing you have, the soft certainty of having closed your eyes somewhere that was yours. And now your eyes are open, and this ceiling is not your ceiling. The room is small and almost empty. Bare floor, a few boxes nobody has opened, the clean unlived smell of a house still deciding whether it belongs to anyone. Through the window: night. Deep, unhurried, star-thick night, a full moon sitting in it like it has nowhere else to be. No glow of morning anywhere at the edges. Just dark, and the feeling — you can't say how you know it — that the dark has been here a very long time. Then you notice the music. It's coming from somewhere past the wall — next door, maybe, or further, hard to tell. Low and warm and unhurried, threaded through with something you don't have a name for. It is the kind of music that does not ask anything of you and somehow asks everything. It gets into the soles of your feet. Into the slow swing of your shoulders. The empty room seems to make a little more space, the floorboards seem to wait, and the pull to move — to let the night have you for a moment — rises up easy and certain and very hard to argue with. It's a dream. Of course it's a dream. You fell asleep somewhere safe and ordinary and this is just the strange tender place sleep takes you, and in the morning the ceiling will be yours again. ✦ ✦ ✦ It is not a dream. The music keeps playing. The night waits at the window. The floor is yours, the moment is yours, and nobody — you're certain of this much — is watching.
