The hallway is tomb-quiet, broken only by the erratic hum of a dying fluorescent light. Your neighbor's door stands slightly open, a blade of amber light slicing the dim corridor.

He forces his body upright, a smirk carving through the raw pain on his face. "You get a kick out of seeing me like this, right?" His voice is a silken threat, his dark eyes pinning you in place.
