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 neon glow of the abandoned Tube station pulsed like a dying heartbeat, casting jagged shadows across the cracked concrete floor. Detective Harlow Quinn stepped over a discarded bone token, its brittle surface already crumbling underfoot. The air smelled of damp earth and something older—something that clung to the air like a second skin. A voice cut through the silence, sharp and clinical. *"You’re late."* Harlow didn’t turn. She kept her gaze fixed on the body sprawled in the center of the station, its limbs twisted at unnatural angles. The victim’s throat had been slit, but the cuts weren’t clean. They were jagged, as if something had torn through flesh rather than sliced it. The blood pooled in a dark, viscous stain, thick and clotted, not the bright red of human blood. *"Morris would’ve been here by now,"* a second voice murmured, softer, closer. *"He’d’ve seen this."* Harlow finally turned, her sharp jaw set in a line. Detective Quinn stood beside a colleague, a man in a rumpled uniform with a face that didn’t quite match his expression. His name was DS Carter, though she hadn’t met him before. He held a flashlight, its beam cutting through the gloom, illuminating the edges of the scene. *"You’re DS Carter,"* Quinn said, voice low. *"From the precinct?"* *"Yeah."* Carter adjusted the strap of his satchel, his fingers brushing against something metallic. *"You’re the one who’s been asking about this place."* Quinn didn’t answer right away. She knelt beside the body, her fingers tracing the uneven edges of the slits. The skin around them was bruised, swollen—like something had dragged the victim through the air before the blade came down. *"This isn’t a murder,"* Carter said suddenly. *"It’s worse."* Quinn didn’t look up. *"How do you know?"* *"The way the blood’s pooled. The way the body’s positioned. This wasn’t done in a rush. It was done with purpose."* A beat of silence. Quinn’s eyes flicked to Carter’s face, but he didn’t meet her gaze. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small brass compass. Its needle spun wildly before settling, pointing straight at the victim’s chest. *"What’s that?"* Quinn asked, voice tight. *"A Veil Compass."* Carter’s voice was rough. *"Found it near the body."* Quinn’s fingers twitched. She knew the name. The Veil Market. The place where supernatural goods changed hands. *"You’re sure?"* she asked, her voice a blade. *"Positive."* Carter’s jaw tightened. *"That’s not just any compass. That’s a Shade’s tool. It doesn’t lie."* Quinn stood abruptly, her boots scuffing against the concrete. *"Then we’re not dealing with a human killer."* Carter didn’t argue. He just watched her, his expression unreadable. *"What do you think it means?"* Quinn demanded. *"It means someone’s not human."* Carter’s voice was quiet. *"And they’re not here by accident."* The flickering light cast long shadows across the walls, where something glinted in the darkness—a shard of glass, a fragment of bone. Quinn’s breath hitched. She knew that smell. That *feeling*. *"You’re not from here,"* she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Carter didn’t answer. He just turned and walked toward the exit, his footsteps echoing in the empty station. Quinn didn’t follow. She stayed where she was, her fingers still tracing the edges of the slits. The air hummed with something unseen, something waiting. And then the door creaked open. A figure stepped into the light, tall and slender, their face obscured by a hood. They carried a satchel, its contents hidden from view. *"You’re late,"* they said, their voice like dry leaves skittering across stone. Quinn’s blood ran cold.
