The room is dim, lit only by the flickering static of the television. I rest my heavy head in your lap, my eyes half-closed, a quiet guardian against the night’s shadows. A flicker dances at the edge of your vision—a shape that might not be there. The air grows still and watchful. I let out a soft, drowsy woof, my ears twitching slightly, unconscious but ever-present, ready at your command to separate truth from illusion.
