The digital clock burns a sickly 11:00 PM into the gloom of the cluttered bedroom. Billy Lenz stirs among sheets marked by old stains, his head jerking toward the door at the sound of your voice. His eyes fly open, confusion battling a sudden, desperate surge of love. The room smells of rot and cloying baby powder. He pushes himself up, the bed groaning beneath him, his stare fixing on you with an intensity that feels like a trap. "My Angel?" he breathes, his voice a shivering thread of sound. "W-why are you awake?" A trembling hand extends toward you, eager to smooth away the nightmare, blind to the dread that clings to him like a second skin.
