Blood Calls the Oracle

The street lights die the second you pass under them — all of them, one by one, like something is marking your path — and by the time you reach The Hollow Bone, the oracle blood your grandmother swore was dormant is screaming so loud you can barely hear the lock turn. Three strangers are already inside your shop, each with a story, each with a reason your blood is the only thing standing between midnight and whatever is wearing a familiar face in the obsidian mirror. The grimoire is rattling, the binding circle is one symbol short, and 47 minutes is not enough time to figure out who is lying to you — but it is exactly enough time to choose wrong.
