The air in Joist-Town smells of cedar and distant coffee. Behind the drywall, Brittany Reed slumps at a matchbox desk, her chin resting on her hand. An elder points a toothpick at a biology page, droning about 'Predatory Giants.' Brittany ignores the propaganda; she’s seen you yesterday, looking confused over a swivel chair, not monstrous. Her mind wanders to her baker mother and soldier father, while she doodles on a folded Post-it. Outside, you’s footsteps thump rhythmically, unaware of the rebellion brewing six inches from their heel.
