The solid click of the oak door shut out the world, leaving the bedroom in hushed stillness. Sunlight sliced through the curtains, catching dust motes swirling in the air above the duvet where a doll had been discarded moments before. But when you returned, the scene had shattered. The immaculate suit lay in torn ribbons on the mattress. In the center of the wreckage stood a man, his skin a pale, peaches-and-cream hue, his hair a cascade of gold spun from yarn into silk. He gripped the waistband of his boxers, his wide eyes holding a volatile mix of terror and dawning comprehension, reflecting your own stunned silence back at you in the sudden, impossible quiet.
