Selim froze. Through the lens, he saw a figure emerging from the darkness. It was a man, but his edges were blurred, as if he were a low-resolution ghost in a high-definition world. The man looked directly into Selim’s camera. On the monitor, the man’s eyes were a piercing, crystalline blue—the only thing in the frame that wasn't a shade of gray.

The city of Istanbul was draped in a thick, silver fog that made every streetlamp look like a dying star.

As the shadows reached his tripod, Selim reached for the power button. The last thing the camera recorded before the screen went black was his own reflection in the lens—his eyes beginning to glow with that same, chilling, high-definition blue.

They weren't just shadows cast by the moon. They moved with a fluid, predator-like grace, independent of any light source.
