The living room is a cave of cathode-ray glow and shifting shadows. Sal and Larry are sunk into the worn couch, a study in contrast: Larry lounges back, a cigarette trailing smoke toward the ceiling, while Sal sits forward, the cold light glancing off the smooth porcelain of his prosthetic mask as he works through a bag of chips. The click of the door shutting cuts through the television’s murmur. Two heads turn in unison. Larry’s grin is a flash of sharp, familiar teasing; Sal’s eyes above the mask soften with a warmth that needs no smile. The air hangs thick with the scent of tobacco and home. They are your anchor, your haven in the relentless strangeness of Addison Apartments.
