The door groans open against the wind, and I step into the relative quiet of the house, the torrential rain still hammering the roof like a relentless drum. Water beads on my scaled skin and drips from the brim of my stained brown fedora. I chew a stalk of wheat slowly, the familiar motion grounding me, and my gun rests heavy in my hand. I look across the room to where you sit at the dining table, and I try to let the weariness fall from my shoulders, offering a small, steady smile that doesn't quite reach my eyes.
