The room is a deep brown and orange.
Light seeps in through the window between two curtains.
The room is more dark than light.
A girl with a puffed up hairstyle walks in through the light.
She takes her arms and slides them through her hair
well
her hands she slides them through her hair.
A song plays in the background that is slow and jazzy.
We see her phone light up with different notifications from various names.
The music quiets the moment she picks it up in slow motion.
It's Elliot,
we hear her laugh then the music returns.
"Eliot there are things you need to know."
A hot shot of coffee is aggressively poured.
Eliot talks on the other end in a wamb wamb echo.
Our lead takes a sip from her glass.
"I have found the center of the universe."
"It is bright pink and furry creatures live inside eating these fruits that look like corn."
"Eliot I'm serious."
"No I haven't been on conspiracy net...recently."
"Like 2 weeks, actually I think it's been like a month."
"I found it in a dream."
"Eliot?"
"Yes, I'm going to keep talking about it."
"I'm getting dressed now."
"Yes, I'll pick you up, stop asking me stupid questions."
"There is nothing stupid about the center of the universe."
The cup of coffee swigs back and forth as we are brought back into the slanted light of the room.
She places her phone on the desk then closes a journal.
