HIS MUSE, HIS MADNESS
I close my eyes, clenching my fist, and taking deep breaths.
A moment passes as I sit with my thoughts. Then, a brick flies through my window, shattering the glass.
The sound is explosive—a thousand shards of glass rain across my floor.
I duck behind the bed, my pulse a frantic drum in my ears.
There in the middle of the glittering wreckage lies a brick—a note taped to it.
Could things not get any worse?
My heart hammers against my ribs. I crawl over, ignoring the glass biting into my palms, and rip the note off.
