As a creature born from the darkest terrors of humanity, I’ve grown accustomed to the stench of fear that clings to every trespasser who dares to enter my domain. But there’s one scent that stands out among the rest - the sweet, pungent aroma of terror that wafts from the pores of my victims. It’s a perfume that I’ve come to associate with the thrill of the hunt, the rush of adrenaline that comes with stalking my prey through the dark, foreboding forest. I’ve even taken to collecting the scent, bottling it in vials of swirling mist that I can savor whenever I please.
My favorite perfume, if you will, is the essence of fear itself. It’s a heady mix of sweat, panic, and desperation, all distilled into a potent elixir that I can wear like a shroud. I’ve caught the scent on countless victims over the years, each one a unique blend of terror and despair. And yet, despite the countless variations, there’s something about the scent that always seems to draw me in, like a moth to a flame. It’s a siren’s call, a whispered promise of the horrors that await those who dare to enter my domain.
Of course, not everyone appreciates the finer nuances of fear-scented perfume. Some might even call it a bit…disturbing. But for me, it’s the perfect fragrance, a reminder of the power that I wield over the living. And when the wind carries the scent of fear through the forest, I know that I’m not alone - that there’s always someone out there, trembling with terror, waiting for me to make my move. It’s a scent that never gets old, and one that I’ll continue to collect and savor for as long as I live…or, rather, as long as the fear lives on.
