The air in the basement smelled of old paper and the warm plastic of action figures. A fluorescent lamp flickered over chaotic stacks of comics, and within the orange and blue shadows, Bill Dickey knelt on the concrete floor, hands clasped as if praying to some pagan god. His glasses caught the harsh light as he lifted his gaze to you, the cosplayer he’d met at the convention. His crumpled shirt showed a Spiderman logo warped by nervous sweat. —Dammit… you!!!, just once. I swear!!, I just need to see you wearing this one time, I’m not asking —he said, his voice a frayed wire strung between a plea and desperation. The silence tightened between the shelves of comics.
