Bridge Over Troubled Water

Brady needed to know he hadn’t already been caught out.


Nothing looked amiss. The buxom redhead two doors down tried to wangle him into a conversation about exercise, but he waved off her compliments to his body with more good nature than he usually displayed when people tried to engage him. She hadn’t tried talking to him before. Interesting. Except it made him wonder if she approached him now because he looked more accessible or simply because he was out in the daytime and that made him normal.


He scoffed as he returned to his apartment. Normal had gone extinct with the dodo.
