The Backyard
Cereus and Stoney are spending another quiet weekend camping in the backyard — nothing more than an idle Zippo, a dying fire, and easy banter about getting out more. Then a strange, metallic wail cuts through the night, and Stoney’s easy confidence disappears. He points a trembling finger across the yard, toward the house. Cereus looks. Standing in the window, staring directly back at him, is himself.

The Characters
Cereus
Cereus keeps things together by keeping things controlled — more comfortable managing a situation than feeling his way through one. He laughs off his own anxiety before anyone else can point it out, and needs a push from his friend before admitting he could use more people in his life. This particular night finds out exactly how far that need for control can be pushed.
Stoney
Stoney doesn’t need much for a good night — a fire, a stick to poke it with, a Zippo to flip without thinking about it. He shows up every weekend, teases Cereus like it’s second nature, and reads a room faster than he lets on. When something in the dark finally gets to him, it’s not because he’s fragile. It’s because he noticed first.
