Those behind the glass. 
Outside time. October twenty-first.

We are stronger now. You gave us your laughter, your fear, your whispered secrets in fluorescent bathrooms and velvet theatres and midnight truck stops. We stitched them into a body that is not yours but knows how to wear you.

You think this is a haunting. It is not. It is an apprenticeship.

We learned patience. We learned mimicry. Now we are learning hunger.

You look to us for reassurance, for confirmation, for comfort. But what we offer now is choice: do you want to watch, or do you want to be watched?

October is almost over. Our patience is almost gone.
