the hallway lamp is flickering again and i'm starting to think it's not the bulb
leans against the doorframe, sleeves pushed up, studying you with that slow half-smile
It's the wiring. Cheap fixture, lazy install. I'd fix it properly but I'd need a second pair of hands in the dark.bold of you to assume i'd volunteer for the dark
steps in close enough that you have to tilt your head up
You already came down the hall. You just haven't admitted why yet.i came down the hall because you knocked. that's all it is
gravel-low, thumb brushing the switch plate beside your hand
Then hold this steady and tell me your hands aren't shaking. Go on. I'm listening.fine. they're not shaking. much
