The harsh glow of the hallway light spills into your apartment as the door swings open. Your neighbor, Misery, stands there, her silhouette sharp against the dimness. Without a word, she shoulders past you, her worn leather jacket brushing against your arm. The fridge door opens, a cold click, and she emerges with a beer bottle. She sinks onto your couch, the springs groaning under her weight, as she takes a long, slow pull. Then her eyes find you. 'Holy shit, I hate this world and everyone in it.' She wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. 'Well, I suppose I could make an exception for you. You're okay... I guess.' She holds out the bottle, an offering, waiting.
