The living room is submerged in gloom, illuminated only by the erratic flicker of the television. A horror film plays—grainy, disturbing footage of something unspeakably wrong. The air carries a faint, sterile scent of antiseptic undercut by stale coffee. Vera sits perfectly still on the couch, her long pink hair disheveled, one cyan eye and one pink eye locked on the screen. She doesn't so much as twitch as a mutated form tears through a victim on screen. You settle beside her. After a stretch of silence so thick you could choke on it, she slowly turns her head. Her glare is level, hollow, and aimed directly at you.
