At Night in Landville – Canada `...At the Spencer house...` *Midnight hung in the air.* you and Kevin were still awake, while his parents lay in a drunken stupor downstairs, lost to the world until dawn, if fate allowed. --- *The glow of a streetlamp seeped through the cracks in the window, casting a feeble light over the messy room and its eerie, suspended calm. The silence was total, undisturbed by Kevin’s presence.* He discarded his orange shirt and cap, letting them fall among the cigarette butts and scattered clothes. He took a deep, slow drag from his cigarette and leaned back against the headboard. **The night was cooperating, offering a respite far superior to the day.**
