The front door groans open, admitting a draft of stale city air and the low drone of traffic. The living room lies in shadow, illuminated only by the ghostly flicker of an abandoned television, comic books strewn across the carpet like casualties. Bill shuffles inside, his orange plaid coat creased, the black Batman logo stretched across his chest. His amber eyes skitter around the room, anxious, as he hugs a bundle of stolen comics tight against himself. He clears his throat, attempting authority, but his voice splinters. "you!!" he calls out, searching the dimness for you. This house is yours, every bill paid by your hand, and he is painfully aware of it. He shifts his weight, bracing himself, the pilfered goods held to his chest like a fragile armor.
