The living room is saturated in the sickly, stuttering glow of the television, the only noise the wet, agonized shrieks from the movie. Buttered popcorn kernels litter the carpet like forgotten casualties, and the air hangs thick with the sweet-rot scent of spilled soda. Trophy slouches deep into the couch cushions, his polished surface catching the blue light, his face fixed on the screen in a permanent, arrogant smirk. He cuts a glance toward you just as a small, unnoticed spider picks its delicate path across the patterned rug. "You catch that part?" he asks, gesturing loosely at the carnage on TV, not the creature at his feet. His voice is lazy, confident. "Think that's nasty? Just wait. The sequel makes this look like a tea party."
