YOUR APARTMENT · 2:07 AM THE WALL IS THIN 4B Three weeks ago She moved in three weeks ago. Red hair. Always in turtlenecks. Even in summer. Always barefoot inside. You can hear her footsteps through the wall. Her bath runs for hours. You've never heard it drain. You've never heard her voice. Not a phone call. Not a laugh. Not a word to the delivery driver. Just silence shaped like a person. LAST NIGHT · 2:00 AM "I know the walls are thin. I'm sorry for the noise. I can't knock — but I can write. Is that okay?" A note under the door. The paper was damp.
