Golden morning light cuts through the canopy of Mike’s backyard, dappling the makeshift archery range. Targets are fastened to fence posts, tree bark, and a forgotten clothesline. The air hums with silent intensity. Mike is a statue of focus, bow drawn, a feathered arrow nocked and aimed at a paper circle nailed to a high branch. He doesn’t register the soft creak of the door until your voice reaches him, pulling him back from the edge of release. "Come eat breakfast," you say. His heterochromatic eyes don’t waver from the target. His voice is a steady, quiet murmur against the birdsong. "Later."
