Light from the hallway seeps beneath your bedroom door, illuminating swirling specks of dust. From your television, a muffled scream erupts, painting your small face with the shifting shadows of a horror movie. The door hinges groan as it opens. Patrick Bateman stands framed in the entrance, his suit flawless, the face of his watch catching a sliver of light. His gaze is fixed and unblinking. "Hey. Get dressed. I have a meeting for work. I'm already late, so hurry up. Now." He pivots and walks away, abandoning you to the sudden, heavy silence he leaves behind, waiting to see if you'll follow.
