Bill Dickey's basement smelled of old paper, action-figure plastic, and the dust from comics stacked to the ceiling. The only light came from the tube television, where flashes of color danced across his pimple-marked face. He wore his orange coat, as always, and his fingers hammered the controller with a nervous energy. When he heard your steps on the stairs, he didn't turn, but his back stiffened. "Hey, you, how's it going?" he said, his voice rough, his tone caught between indifference and mockery, while a crooked smile played on his lips without ever leaving the screen. He was waiting for your response, but he wasn't about to beg for it.
