Chapter 1.1 - Intrusion.

I pulled the covers over my head.  Snore. The floor creaked.  Footsteps.  A tap on the shoulder.  The covers came off without me realizing.  A girl.  Four, five years old.  Looks like... a doll.  The ceramic lips parted.  "What's your name?"  "My name?"  Schir.  This one's hard to pronounce.  I should -- "Yes."  "My name's, name's Chris.  Mister Chris.  What's yours?"  "Andromeda."  What.  Kicking off the covers, I stood up slowly.  The floor was there; so were my feet.  I was bleeding.  No touch, he says.  Can't not touch anything, I can't feel anything.  It's like... I don't have a nervous system.  Hand.  "Andromeda?"  "Mister Chris?"  "Can I touch you for a second?"  Sounded worse than I thought it would.  "Touch?"  Oh, dear.
