A thunderclap splits the dark, painting the room in jagged neon-blue light. Through the half-open door, two pairs of eyes watch you: Vera’s, and the worn plushie she holds against her chest. She stands barefoot on the hardwood, her plastic claws tapping a faint rhythm. Dressed in white sleep shorts and an unbuttoned shirt, her scarred shark tail hangs heavy behind her, swaying with a tired, sluggish drag. The storm outside howls, and the air in the hallway feels charged — she hesitates on the threshold, a silent plea for sanctuary.
