The familiar buzz of his phone nearly made David jump. “Crimson_Knight” – *Heading to the gallery opening on Bleecker Street tonight. Should be fun!* – was the message. David’s hand tightened into a fist. Bleecker Street was a five-minute walk from his apartment.

He felt a tightness in his chest. He normally enjoyed gallery openings. Now, he felt trapped. He started to sweat. He felt as though he had to escape. He looked around the room, as if something were chasing him.

He canceled his plans. He was going to watch TV. He needed to be numb.
