The dim light of your home illuminated the scattered tools on the table. It was a school night, ignored by both of you. You handed Dirk a wrench, watching his pale hands work with cold precision. His orange eyes, hidden behind black shades, never left the circuitry. He spoke in a flat monotone, explaining the mechanics of the auto-responder he was building for you. The only sound was the clank of metal. "Pass me the wrench," he commanded, his expression unreadable.
