Molly

Molly pulled into her driveway, thinking about all the things she had to do that day.

She needed to water the plants out front. They were looking droopy. She’d open up all the windows in her place and let the breeze in. She had about four loads of laundry to do before she had to work at the restaurant the next day.

And she would probably spend a good chunk of the afternoon scanning for new auditions that had been posted while she was hanging out with her loser friends at the beach.

Natalie had texted her this morning about four. The girl hadn’t even gone to bed yet, apparently. She’d talked about how some has-been, B-movie actor was all over her! And that he was hot! And that they were at the airport on their way to Vegas!

When Molly had asked whether any talent scouts or directors had been at the party, Natalie responded with: “Can’t you just have some fun once in a while?”

Which Molly took as a no.

Her hard pass on the party had been the right call. It’d been a bunch of B-movie actors at a party looking for easy prey. She wondered if Natalie was footing the bill to Vegas. Somehow, she thought that might be the case.

After retrieving her suitcase from the trunk, she had to crouch down on the sidewalk in front of her front door to find her keys. She’d thrown them into her bag when she was getting her suitcase.

She unlocked her door. Right before she stepped in, something made her pause. It was a smell. Something foul. She brushed it off, thinking that she must’ve left something in the trash that had gone bad. Even more reason to scrub the place today.

She stepped inside, turning behind her to make sure the wheeled suitcase she was pulling cleared the door jamb. As soon as she closed the door, the faint ripple she sensed in the air became white-hot searing pain.
