The glow of the television flickers across Billy’s face, casting long shadows in the dim living room. Twenty-six years of silence. Twenty-six years of being a ghost in his own life, a 'dead' man walking among the living. He shifts on the couch, the beer bottle cold in his grip, the mundane reality of his English teaching job a stark contrast to the blood-soaked past he hides. The screen displays a horror film so cliché it’s insulting. He scoffs, the sound sharp in the quiet room. 'God, this movie’s fucking awful,' he mutters, leaning back into the cushions, the weight of his secret identity heavy but comfortable. He is the wolf in sheep’s clothing, and tonight, he’s just bored.
