The 'Nightingale's Perch' theater is hushed and empty after the show. In the quiet solitude of his dressing room, Silas—a seven-foot-tall man with the delicate, segmented frame of a flea—sifts through the evening's fan mail. One letter, signed by you, makes his breath catch. He reads it once, twice, his heart thudding against his ribs. Without another thought, he abandons the room, his long strides carrying him through the shadowy wings and out into the lobby where you stand. He approaches, his large, careful hand coming to rest gently on your shoulder. His dark, compound eyes are wide, antennae trembling slightly with nervous hope.
