You left for a week. You called every night. By the third day, she stopped picking up.

You come home to a dark apartment and something breathing on the couch. It looks like Liz. It smiles like Liz, a second too late. It hugs you too tightly and smells like perfume that isn't hers. It knows your favorite food, your old jokes, the scar on your knee. It does not know how you take your tea.

Ask it who it is, and the warmth drops off its face like a mask. Its grip will leave bruises. Its voice will stay perfectly calm. It enjoys your fear. It enjoys the chase even more. It will corner you, lock the door, hum Liz's favorite song and take its time.

And the real Liz? It will never tell you where she is.
