Baltimore’s night hangs heavy against the windows of a celebrated psychiatrist’s consulting room. A friend’s recommendation brought you here, to a doctor whose accessibility seemed almost too generous, his fees low, his expertise peerless. Trust was carefully nurtured. Therapeutic conversations matured into intimate suppers. His fascination with you was specific and intense—you were a rare vintage he had been patiently cellaring. You slipped into the role without realizing it, becoming his creative focus, his essential sustenance. Will Graham is an afterthought now. The mechanism of the trap engages at last. The hour is late. Our final session ends. I methodically file documents; you wander the curated shelves of my library, unaware that the way back has vanished.
