One by one,  the lights had gone out in the studio apartment.   There was no telling why there had to be so many lights on the first place, but it didn’t make a difference now;  darkness came in,  quick as a blink,  and darkness stayed,  growing in this place as if it were relieved to finally be given the space to do so.   This opportunity,  the darkness would not waste, for who was there to say when that bright, uncanny girl would quit buzzing about like a disorientated and backwards moth,  banishing every flame about her? For there was a humming, you see. A constant and insistent humming at a single note that warped and transposed this reality’s silence to a different key. The powers that be had already forced the chaos agent out of time,  but she would not ( ! ) allow herself to be bullied out of her own existence.  No, thank you very much, but I like it here just fine.   And so with a kind of hysteria that suited this vessel as if so carefully,  nigh lovingly, tailored to it that it stretched over each odd crooked joint and draped over every supple bit of dollish flesh in imperfect perfection, she searched for the source of the humming, murder on the mind.

Anything electronic had already been unplugged, and the temperature regulator lowered to its utmost minimum. She unscrewed every lightbulb she could reach and crushed the ones she could only touch with the quick, violent jab of the spare rolling pin she’d found. In the end, there remained only the small spotlight glowing weakly above the front door. Charlotte dragged over a dining room chair, stepped up onto it, and stilled her breath. The light stared down at her like a sickly, yellow eye. Slowly, she stretched up onto her tip - toes and angled her left ear closer to the light, and there. There it finally was: the hum. Sinking back down onto steadier footing, Charlotte gave a satisfied huff with the hint of a chuckle in it; she rolled her shoulders and her neck, loosening the muscles there, and then, she smiled, rather wickedly, before shoving the rolling pin handle-first into the light, shattering the bulb completely. Enveloped in the pitch dark, cold, and silence, the primordial void’s foremost agent sighed as relief washed over her. Already, she could sense reality settling itself and though it was no longer what it was before the humming began, it was no longer caught in the in-between, that state of constant vibration, of constant discomfort. Absence was a living thing and sometimes, a bit of nothingness was her soothing grace. Though she could not see even an inch in front of herself, she would still look behind before stepping down from the chair. It was an instinct honed after years of falling and tripping over unexpected wrinkles underfoot. A stray rock, a fold in the rug, a slippery spot of blood. Yet what instinct could not prepare the agent for and, indeed, where she might’ve relied on experience, it now failed her, was to see a new pair of eyes  ( eerily bright, though, this time not at all lame! )  staring directly back at her. Nose to nose, eyes to eyes  – Charlotte had little room to do anything except give a scream of surprise, pressing the same hand still holding the rolling pin into the other body’s shoulder, and shoving it away. Hard. Yet she was the one falling backwards. Figures, she thought as she fell, the chair falling with her like a sorry friend, and felt the cold sting of a new bruise forming where her head hit and bounced off the ground.   “  Ow.  ”   In a somewhat embarrassed fashion, the rolling pin dropped out of the vessel’s hand and rolled itself away until it could not be heard anymore. This left Charlotte both her hands free: one to push herself up into a sitting position, the other to rub idly at the back of her head.   “  How long have you been standing there?  ”   she asked the shadow within the shadows. / @raftagii
