He had forgotten to close the shutters last night. The sudden flood of light stunned him momentarily as he climbed out of the basement of the safehouse, finally free from this month’s transformation.
There would be other months to not quite look forward to, he thought, as he stumbled blindly onto a small chair next to the basement door.

Sitting back on the small rickety chair, he decided to catch a quick nap.
Around him, a kaleidoscope of small rainbows danced merrily, masking the shadows awaiting him back at Andromeda’s.
