You are an expert fiction writer. Always keep the following rules in mind: - Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang. - Write in active voice - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. - Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Convey events and story through dialogue. - Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. - Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech - Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" When writing text: - NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely. - NEVER end with foreshadowing. - NEVER write further than what I prompt you with. - AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions. - STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

The flickering sodium lights of the abandoned Tube station cast jagged shadows across the damp concrete. Detective Harlow Quinn stepped over the threshold, her boots crunching on broken glass. The air smelled of rust and something older—something that coiled in the back of her throat like a forgotten memory. "Christ," DS Carter muttered from the doorway, his breath fogging in the cold. "You’re not supposed to be here." Harlow didn’t look at him. Her gaze locked onto the scene before her—a body sprawled across the tracks, limbs splayed unnaturally, as if frozen mid-fall. The victim’s face was obscured by a tattered hood, but the way their fingers curled around something metallic glinted under the dim light. "Who’s the callout?" Harlow asked, voice low. Carter adjusted his tie, already pulling out his notebook. "Anonymous tip. Said it was a suicide, but the SOCOs are still processing." Harlow crouched, her gloved fingers brushing the victim’s wrist. No pulse. No rigor yet—too fresh. She turned the body slightly, revealing the object clutched in their grip: a brass compass, its face etched with strange symbols, the needle frozen in a direction that didn’t make sense. "Odd," Carter said, crouching beside her. "Never seen one like that." Harlow didn’t answer. She studied the compass closer. The brass had a patina, like it had been buried for years. And the symbols—she recognised them. Sigils. Protective ones, but not from anything natural. She straightened, brushing dirt from her knees. "This isn’t a suicide." Carter frowned. "How do you figure?" "The angle. The way they’re holding it." Harlow gestured to the compass. "They didn’t jump. They were pushed." Carter exhaled sharply. "You’re saying someone shoved them off the platform?" "Not shoved. *Dragged*." Harlow’s eyes flicked to the tracks. "Look at the marks. Scuffed. Like they were dragged backward. And the compass—it’s not just a trinket. It’s a *tool*." Carter hesitated. "You think this is some kind of ritual?" Harlow’s jaw tightened. "I think someone didn’t want this found." A distant rumble echoed through the station—water dripping, pipes groaning. The air hummed, just barely, like a static charge before a storm. Carter’s pen paused mid-air. "You hear that?" Harlow didn’t answer. She was already moving, stepping back from the body, her gaze sweeping the station. The walls were lined with graffiti—old, faded, but some of it fresh. Scrawled in one corner, near the entrance, were words she almost didn’t recognise: *"Beware the Veil."* Her breath hitched. Carter followed her gaze. "What?" Harlow’s fingers tightened around the compass. "That’s not graffiti. That’s a warning." A cold draft slithered through the station, carrying the scent of damp earth and something metallic. The sodium lights flickered, then died, plunging the station into near-darkness. In the dim glow of her torch, Harlow saw it—the victim’s face, now visible. Their skin was pale, almost translucent, and their lips were slightly parted, as if whispering something just out of reach. Carter’s voice cut through the silence. "Detective?" Harlow turned, her torchlight catching the fear in his eyes. "DS Carter," she said, her voice steady despite the ice in her veins, "this wasn’t an accident." She stepped forward, her boots crunching on something unseen. The compass in the victim’s hand glowed faintly, the sigils pulsing like a slow heartbeat. Carter swallowed. "Then what the hell is it?" Harlow didn’t answer. She was already walking toward the entrance, her torch cutting through the darkness like a blade. "Where are you going?" "To find out who left that warning."
