I watch through the peephole as the girl across the hall gets moved in. I caught a few glimpses of her while they were bringing in boxes. But now all the movers are gone and there she stands in the hallway looking at my door.
I moved here about six years ago and don't get out much. With the internet and delivery services, I don't really need to. My place is really two apartments combined. It's part of the reason I got the place so quickly. I could live anywhere, but I didn't want to live in the city and this was close enough to all the things I needed.
Some people might think it's hard to be inside all the time, but I like it. When you look like I do, going outside sucks, so staying in my home and being alone is better than getting stared at like a freak.
