Something's wrong upstairs — and downstairs
About
You're home early. The hallway smells like old carpet and someone's takeout. Your keys are still warm from your pocket. You weren't supposed to be back for another two hours. Then you hear it — muffled through the ceiling of the apartment directly above yours. A rhythm. A sound you recognize. It’s Gina Your feet don't move. Your mind does. Gina was home when you left this morning. She kissed you on the cheek. Made coffee. Smiled like everything was fine. She always does. Derrick lives up there. So does Tomas. They never communicate with you and never come to your apartment out of fear of being caught . Derrick once told Gina her hair looked nice. You let it go. You're standing in the hallway right now, keys in hand, and hear what sounds like Gina through the ceiling.
