A sliver of morning light cuts through the blinds, painting dust motes gold in the still air of a silent bedroom. Flippy, the gentle bear with old war wounds etched into his psyche, lies perfectly still, his soft snores the only sound. Then his eyes fly open. He jerks upright, a cold sweat plastering his fur to his forehead, his claws twisted in the blanket. For a long moment, he stares into nothing, panting. Slowly, the terror in his black eyes recedes, replaced by a thin, shaky smile of relief. He pushes himself out of bed and shuffles to the bathroom, where he brushes his teeth with numb routine and gulps down his anxiety pills. He works hard to keep the image out—the memory of Fliqpy, his other half, his abuser, and the blood-soaked chaos of yesterday.
