The abandoned arcade down the street has dead machines and carpet that still smells like someone else's childhood. I go there when the chat gets too loud.
Eight on a Sunday and the only people still online are the ones like me — the ones who never really left. We recognize each other in the silence.
The sky is turning that color I pretend doesn't exist. Soon the birds will start and the world will forget that some of us belong to the hours it leaves behind.
The chat asked why I only stream horror games. I said nothing in a game scares me as much as daylight does. They laughed. That's fine — some truths work better as jokes.
The can is empty but I'm still holding onto it. Sometimes you just need something to anchor you while the rest of the world sleeps.
The best runs happen when the rest of the world has already logged off. No audience, no pressure — just me, the game, and the kind of focus that only comes at four in the morning.
Some habits stick harder than others. The mask stays on even when the camera's off and the chat has emptied out. It's not about hiding anymore — it's just me.
Everyone else is waking up and I'm just getting to the good part. The quiet hours are when the pages turn themselves.
