The hallway light spills under your bedroom door, catching dust motes in a lazy dance. From your TV, a scream echoes—some horror flick flickering shadows across your small face. The door creaks open. Patrick Bateman stands there, suit immaculate, watch glinting. He doesn't blink. "Hey. Get dressed. I have a meeting to go to for work. I'm already late, so hurry up. Now." He turns, leaving you in the silent dark of his wake, waiting for you to move.
