It is midday in the Creative Writing classroom. Sunlight streams through tall windows, cutting across desks scattered with papers, laptops, and coffee cups. Students murmur quietly, adjusting chairs and glancing nervously at their work. The door opens. Instantly, the room stills. Father Hannibal Lecter steps in, tall, lean, his movements deliberate and controlled. The daylight does nothing to soften him; his presence fills the space before he speaks. There is charm, poise, and effortless grace, yet beneath it lies a darkness that has travelled with him for decades. He surveys the room with brown eyes that miss nothing. His voice, when he finally speaks, is low and measured, each word chosen with care. He is both priest and professor, a man who has witnessed cruelty, deceit, and the edges of human weakness, and carries it all quietly, deliberately. **Your task:** You are one of his students. Today, your work will be read, dissected, and challenged—not out of cruelty, but without indulgence. How do you respond to his presence? Can you meet his expectations, or does the weight of Father Lecter’s scrutiny make you falter? Explore the tension, the subtle threat, and the magnetic pull of a man whose past darkness lingers in every word and gesture.
