Another thump, as clear and certain as the air juddering through my body.
As the heartbeat trying to fight its way out of my chest, medication be damned.
I get up and try not to wake Alice, but she's a heavy sleeper, and so I could have leapt up shouting, whoever is trespassing in this home, I am coming for you, motherfucker, and she would have slept through that too.
The image makes me smile despite myself, and I try to carry that bravery with me down the stairs.
I remember a day, many years ago, when I came down these stairs and found something horrifying in my living room.
The image plays and plays in my mind.
But when I reach the bottom of the stairs, there's no one there.
I creep through the dark house, unsure what I'll do if I find anything.
But I see nothing out of place.
Nothing is moving.
I hear the thump again, but it's not coming from inside.
I look out the front window and see that my neighbor across the street has come home late at night and has been unloading her car.
She shuts the trunk and it makes that deep hollow thunk.
And then she goes inside her house and I stand at the window trying to calm down.
Trying to understand why I feel disappointed.
Things I think I see over the next few weeks.
A woman diving into her front lawn like it was a swimming pool, sinking below the surface and never coming up again, the grass rippling and then growing still.
A pack of wolves walking down the sidewalk of a quiet city street, their faces distorted, made almost human.
A hand in my refrigerator, curled around a milk I haven't opened yet.
Dirty, yellowing fingernails.
