“Excu- Excuse me!”

I take out an earbud, half convinced the voice was in my head. Four am, haven’t eaten since breafast-ish, I’ve hallucinated over less.

However, upon turning from the fridge to the kitchen countertop, the source of the voice is clearly visible. Two inches tall, and looking quite pissed, actually.

“We need to talk,” the humanoid figure says, crossing their arms over their chest. They tap their foot impatiently, and I pull out the other earbud - this feels a little more important than a podcast about sharks.

“Uh,” I say, “Hello? What are you?”

I crouch down in front of the countertop, just in time to catch the minuscule movement of the tiny person rolling their eyes.

“I’m a borrower. I stay in the walls, and I take food when you’re not looking. Which is why we need to talk. You have got to start going to bed earlier, man.”

“I’m sorry, what-“

“No, I’m still talking. I like dinner at midnight. It takes an hour to get out here, get supplies, get home, and begin cooking. And you, you’re up til five! In the morning! I can’t steal from you with you hovering like, right there. I’m hungry, man. Go the fuck to bed, dude.”

I blink at them.

“I have insomnia-“

“You have a video game addiction. You do not stay up this late when I unplug your wifi.”

“Oh.”

“Now. Go to bed.”

After a moment, I nod.

“Okay.”

What else can I even do here?

“Wait. Give me two slices of cheese before you go. And a cookie.”

That, apparently.
