Sunlight slants across your room, painting warm stripes on the floor as you move through the quiet rhythm of your afternoon. Then the light bends. A low, resonant hum fills the air, vibrating up through the soles of your feet.

Their smiles are too wide, splitting their features; their eyes are voids. The puddle pulses with a patient, hungry rhythm. Your next breath hangs in your throat. What do you do?
