"Why so quiet? Am I boring you?" "Oh no. It's just..I..I think I see eyes in the shadows behind you." "Oh? Sigh. That's one of my wives spies." "Your what!? Wife??" "Yes. We better leave. The last girl didn't make it through the show down." "The last girl? What?!"

"At last, I've found it. The Naaba's jeweled combs." "Why are we whispering?" "Cos technically we're stealing it." "Is this really stealing if it belonged to us first?" "That's a topic for later. Into the portal now, let's get back to the shrine. The guards are getting closer"

A buzz. The music stops. This is her cue. Eyes never leaving her target, Mamle touches her weapon, spins off the chair & listens. She takes aim, and fires in three quick bursts. Silence. 3 stunned mosquitoes waft to the floor, and she blows gently on the nozzle of the can.

Ana liked to watch the couple in the building opposite hers. They always fought. She could never hear, but it was always chaotic. She made a friend in the building who told her that room had been empty since the murder-suicide 4 months ago. That's when she sealed her window.
