Hot Air

I looked down in my lap and saw my notebook closed on my pen. When I opened it the last thing I seemed to have written was “Q X”. Then I remembered.

No astronaut had visited, I was alone in this musty room. The brown leather chair was still cold. It was light outside, but in this windowless living room it was still dim. I checked my watch, it was ten in the morning. I had slept for twelve hours, I couldn’t believe it. My back and neck hurt from sleeping in the chair, so I shifted to rub them. Something crunched. I reached into my pocket and found the broken remains of the lightbulb I had taken from the bin. It didn’t matter, they were too thorough to leave fingerprints.

My spider-sense had tingled when I heard about the flat, but the tingling had gone now. The flat was a dead end. Nothing but a remnant of whatever these people had been doing for the last decade. Which probably wasn’t that remarkable, there were probably loads of people doing it. It wasn’t connected to Clarence’s murder. It wasn’t connected to anything.
