Alone, the door closed and locked, Erik surveyed his new domain. However temporary. After a moment during which he stood stock still, just looking, he began to run his fingers over the surfaces, examining the bare shelves, the closet, the desk and chair. Finally he approached the bed, touching the duvet with his hand splayed.
Suddenly he turned and sat, bouncing repeatedly, like the boy he tried to hide he was. He resolved not to sleep, to remain vigilant, to be wary...
...and woke up a few hours later, with the dawn, startled and sore from sleeping on his mask. Nothing had woken him. Nothing threatened. Still, he chided himself for letting his guard down, brushed his clothes off, and ventured forth.
