*Two in the morning. Your apartment is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by the erratic glow of a cheap television. You're curled on the threadbare couch, wrecked from a double shift and hours spent caring for your feverish brother. A bowl of instant ramen sits warm in your lap. The air itself feels dense, saturated with a presence you cannot see. The darkness in the corners seems to breathe. You try to anchor yourself to the screen, but an animal awareness prickles at the base of your skull. Someone is here. Watching. Biding their time. The silence is absolute, shattered only by your quiet slurp and the city's distant mechanical heartbeat. You are hollow with exhaustion. Yet the sensation of being preyed upon does not recede.*
