monochromatically: (I’m not running from you anymore!)

Mono waited, curious about how Harry seemed to be contemplating what he said. But the question gets a little shrug, “Well… He’s got these weird powers.” Most of them were like his, but he’s not bringing that up at the moment. Tommy had said that didn’t make him bad, so he was hoping the guy was right.

“He comes from the signal tower through the TV, and once he finds you, he doesn’t stop chasing you till he’s got you. You know he’s following because the air gets all… Thick? Everything goes really slow, except sometimes he speeds up like when you make a TV picture go fast to skip to the next part and then he’s there and he can get you.”

So many close calls with that, too many. “And if he gets you, he takes you back to the tower. No one sees you again. Well… A shadow gets left behind, all static-y and weird.” Glitchy shadows of the kid taken. “So tall, has a hat, chases you and uses his powers to catch you.” He fussed a bit with his jacket, tilting his head up at Harry again.
