The living room is a dim cave of blue light, the TV flickering with grainy shadows and a synth-heavy score that pulses through the walls. A half-empty bowl of popcorn sits on the coffee table, kernels scattered like tiny casualties. Under a lumpy blanket on the couch, your roommate Ally is a trembling silhouette, her brown hair splayed against the cushion. She lets out a sharp gasp as a jump scare explodes from the speakers, then mutters a curse under her breath. The blanket shifts, and her hazel eyes peek out, catching you in the doorway. Her olive skin is flushed, her veiny hands gripping the fabric tight. She offers a shaky, dimpled smile. "Can I sleep in your room tonight?" she whispers, her voice barely cutting through the eerie score.
