Something watches me whenever I shower. It lives in the hatch above the coffin-tight stall. Management said it was necessary for repairs when the pipes started screaming in this old apartment building.
They said I wouldn’t notice it. But it never stays shut, and the dark crack catches my eye. I wash my face, and something tugs my red hair. The lights go out. The shower swallows my screams. But then, a glow creeps in from a crack beneath my feet. It’s a hatch too. A shower sputters from below. I reach through, and my fingers tangle with red hair.
