Mike sat in a folding chair he’d scavenged to replace the recliner he’d lost during Calibration. It was an uncomfortable lump of metal that fit his sour mood. The half-empty fifth of tequila hadn’t brightened his spirits. He flipped something between his fingers while his mind chased phantoms in circles. It was a messy Spirograph of anger, justification, recrimination, and back to anger.
