Diego packs more insulation into the walls. The work\u2019s itchy as hell and the insulation isn\u2019t enough to cut out the whine of the Sound, not entirely, but he likes to think it helps. Behind him, he can hear Liv move about the apartment, rummaging through the totes they\u2019ve never fully unpacked. A year later and they still live like they might have to flee. \u201cI thought we agreed that the comics would go next,\u201d he says, the Sound like a drill boring into his temples, pushing his voice near to yelling. Not that he wants to remind her what to sell on eBay, but the old X-Men comics might be worth something. | Copyright 2017 by Charles Payseur.
