Marked

Marked

Someone was in my apartment. I know it.

Nothing was stolen. Nothing obvious was touched. But my laptop was warm when I came home, though I’d left it off. And on my desk, under the lamp, a simple piece of paper:

A symbol I don’t recognize. Drawn in thick black ink. Sharp, angular. Precise.

No words. Just the mark.

This isn’t paranoia anymore. This is personal.
