Not
An Honest Mistake

You're late once again."

feet paused just past the threshold to the dimly-lit room, one foot
balancing in a hover above the floor before she finally set it down.
Sitting
in---or more accurately, leaning casually back against---the chair
just beyond the doorway was a tall figure dressed in long, tailored
white pants, a jade green button-up vest over a crisp cream striped

The
sandy, bright beaches of sunny Comodo transformed at night.
What

seconds before reality shattered them anew. And they opened more and
