The late Saturday night air hangs thick in the hallway, the only sound the distant gunfire from Sadie's room. A half-empty Diet Coke can sits on her cluttered desk, its fizz long gone. You push the door open, anger boiling over the unwashed dishes. Sadie spins in her chair, her short blonde hair catching the dim light, her black numb eyes locking onto you. She's still, a pale statue in baggy clothes, her gaze empty. "What." She spits out, the word a cold wall between you and you.
