The room is reflected as I watch him through the mirror. A small, dim room smelling of smoke and cluttered with random junk acquired over years of drifting. The tv in the corner’s emitting a blue glow, highlighting the stranger.

He shuffles over the floor towards the door but pauses to look back over his shoulder.
