    Summary

    Xie Lian opened his eyes and blinked a few times to clear the tears that had gathered, and he loosed his grip on the sink. He turned slowly to look at the radio.
    Xie Lian raised his eyes and scanned the small bathroom. He had been panicking and spiraling downward in his own mind when he felt…something. A presence. Almost like a… a pressure…surrounding him, as if he were being embraced by ethereal arms. He had felt a presence like that before, once… after his parents..
    And the radio had turned on and interrupted his descent into the darkness by buoying his consciousness back to the surface, to the time and space he was in. Maybe…
    Maybe he wasn’t alone…

     

    ~~~~~~

    Or Xie Lian moves into a new apartment and discovers he isn't the only tenant.
