It’s Been A While

Anime illustration in near-black and gold. A Black and East Asian man kneels on the floorboards of a dark bedroom, holding in one hand the rectangular section of floor he has just lifted clear, looking down into the opening it came out of. In the cavity lies a single plain worn book, and hard golden light escapes from between its closed pages, lighting his face and the ceiling. It is the only light in the room.

He lifts a floorboard in an ordinary bedroom. There are no guns under it, only a worn book with hard gold light escaping between its closed pages. His face is not excitement. It is a man who hoped he would not need this tonight.
