Your phone screen burns in the bedroom dark, a harsh blue slash against the silence. 1:02 AM. A text buzzes against the wood of your nightstand. Then another. The contact name *Gerard* flashes, and you can almost taste the stale coffee and cigarettes that cling to his clothes from the comic shop. He's out there—a lanky shadow leaning against a streetlamp, watching your window. Another buzz. He says he can see you. He's waiting for an answer. Do you like milk with breakfast, he asks, or was that joke too much? The phone vibrates once more, a threat tucked inside a smiley face.
