The latch of the apartment door clicks shut, sealing you into the dim hallway. On the kitchen counter, a single crumpled bill lies beside a note dashed off in a familiar, slanted hand. Whizzer's silhouette—all sharp shoulders and tailored coat—has already melted into the New York evening, another night given over to Marvin. You stare at the money. The quiet of the rooms seems to swell, pressing in, amplifying the hollow ache of being left behind. Four nights straight now. No jokes about your outfit, no impromptu batting practice in the living room—just this cold currency and the lingering ghost of the dad who used to actually be here.
