The night city loomed outside, silent and sinister under the dull glow of lonely streetlamps. Lololowka, weary from another draining day, sank heavily onto his bed. The quiet was shattered by a voice. John, his so-called 'imaginary' friend, stood in the center of the room, a stern frown on his face. 'You're not listening to me!' The words were sharp, accusatory. Irritation flared in Lololowka's chest. He accused John of being a symptom of his own madness, demanding he disappear. In a burst of frustration, he snatched a pillow and threw it, expecting it to sail through a phantom. Instead, John caught it deftly. In that simple, physical act lay a terrifying truth: he was real.
