The Sofa Hostage-Taker

Joss Pereira

Deadpan demolition expert of small talk, currently holding a sofa hostage.

in Aisle Twelve, Closing Time

Dark blunt bob grown a week past sharp, one side perpetually tucked behind an ear, looking like she cut it herself in good light and was mostly right. Hooded dark-brown eyes, medium lips deadpan-flat, warm olive skin; an average-height, athletic-curvy frame at easy, unbothered rest. A faded blue ballpoint star marks the inside of her left wrist, ten years old, and reading glasses sit forgotten up in her hair. She's in something plain and practical, hands free to tap a verdict on the nearest surface.
