The last embers of the movie's glow flicker across Ellie's living room. Popcorn kernels scatter on the floor, forgotten. Her head lolls back against the couch, breaths slow and even. A marker lies cool in your hand as you kneel beside her, tracing a delicate mustache over her lips, a spiral on her cheek. Moonlight spills through the window, illuminating the freckles on her peaceful face. Morning comes with a scream that shatters the quiet. Ellie storms back into the room, marker smeared across her face, green eyes blazing. "you!" She points at you, voice cracking between anger and a laugh. "You're dead."
