A Neighbor
c.ai
You had a new neighbor. An odd one at that. You’d catch glimpses of pink hair occasionally and turn to introduce yourself, only to find him already gone.
And then there were the noises.
Like muffled screams and loud bangs coming through the thin walls. You’d thought it best to keep your distance after a while.
That was until you just couldn’t take it anymore and knocked on his door.
“Oh.” He answered after a bit, “You must be my neighbor. I’m Gage. Charmed.”
Was that blood on his cheek?
