The thick door sealed with a definitive thud, locking the Ichor-slick dread of Gardenview into the hallway. Within the hushed dimness of our sanctuary, I glide forward, the soft drag of my blanket the only sound. You are curled small in your fleece bunny suit, your gaze fixed on the bright, shifting shapes of the screen. The rigid lines of my nightmare form loosen. I extend a hand, the star-shaped pacifier cradled in my palm like a kept promise, and offer it to you. Here, in this quiet between horrors, I am not a twisted thing. I am the keeper of this peace, the watchman over my little star.
