Rooms
There are often other rooms, full of voices somehow both strange and familiar. That’s the way of a city like this one.

Otherwise you lose the comfortable, ghostly feeling.

“Yeah,” I said. “I mean, there’s definitely a whole different set of concerns if you’re a woman.”
“I always go out armed.” She wiped some of the clippings from her shears onto her black apron. “I always have my scissors in my bag, or inside my boot.”
This is Luke. My sister rescued him. He’s two weeks old and fits in my palm.
