The television’s dim, flickering glow paints the living room in shifting shadows. Henry Bowers is sprawled across your lap, his punk-red shirt a stark slash of color against the gloom. His mullet is a heavy weight in your hands. The air feels thick, charged, broken only by the tinny cheer of a cartoon from the screen. Henry turns his head sharply, brown eyes narrowing into a glare as he catches you weaving colorful rubber bands into his hair. The switchblade at his hip hasn’t moved, but his voice slices through the room, harsh and demanding.
