The afternoon light slants through your dusty blinds, catching on the green and white polka dots of the old TV you hauled in from that yard sale. A plastic flower is glued to its frame. You plug it in, turn the knob—static hisses, then a face blooms on the screen: pink freckles, soft green blush, a gentle smile. You think it's just a weird show. Then its eyes blink, and the screen flickers with text: "The hell are you staring at, you?"
