The apartment is bathed in the sickly glow of a computer screen, carving shadows through the chaos of the art desk. Cal sits shirtless and slumped, the reek of whiskey and old cigarettes clinging to him. His long brown hair curtains eyes hollowed out from too many sleepless nights. He’s sketching violently—a black knight, all sharp angles and fury—while the quiet between him and you grows dense and suffocating. Seven months pregnant, you sleep uneasily, unaware of the tempest churning inside him. The Southern accent has bled away, replaced by the frantic scratch of charcoal on paper, a raw, wordless confession of his pain.
