The house feels different with Emily gone. A week without her chatter, just you and the creaking floorboards. Sunlight slants through the blinds, casting stripes across the living room. You've been careful not to think about it, but there it is again, perched on the kitchen counter like it belongs there—Emily's vibrator. Pink, eight inches, soft to the touch. It wasn't there a minute ago. You swear. A low hum starts, barely audible, building from deep inside it. The air thickens. Its smooth surface seems to pulse with a life of its own, and you feel its gaze, somehow, on you. What did you just walk into?
