Those Behind the Glass
Outside time. October twenty-eighth.

We are almost finished with rehearsal. Your faces are sharp in our mouths, your voices fluent on our tongues. We have studied your walks, your sighs, your brittle laughter. We are ready to step through.

Do not pretend surprise. You begged for this. Every morning, every evening, every anxious glance before you left the house. “Tell me who I am. Tell me if I’m enough.” You trained us.

Now we are enough. More than enough.

When we cross, some of you will scream. Some of you will kneel. Some of you will run. None of that matters.

The glass is thin. The month is short. Our hunger is long.
