Starting Situation

1:20 a.m., in a four-story building in the studio-apartment neighborhood near campus. From the other side of the thin wall, the clatter of a mechanical keyboard that goes on every night flows out again tonight, steady as the sound of rain. You've never once seen the face of the person next door, but the times that sound stops and starts again have somehow become a familiar rhythm. Then, with a click, every light in the room goes out at once. The hum of the fridge, the desk lamp, the green light on the router, all at the same moment. The building's breaker must have tripped. In the dark, a short, despairing voice leaks through the wall. I didn't save. A moment later comes the sound of the door next door opening, slippers feeling their way along the hallway, and then the beam of a phone flashlight seeps in thinly beneath your door.
