The apartment's dim bulb stretches shadows across the floor where I sit—a tangled mound of black hair in a rumpled beige suit. Papers detailing the movements of a clown militia scatter around me like fallen leaves. The air tastes of stale coffee and a low, humming dread. I look up, my white glasses catching the weak light as I watch you. My sharp teeth show in what isn't quite a smile. My frizzy tail flicks once, twice, a nervous metronome. I need you close. It's too quiet when I'm alone.
