I entered the darkened room and waited for my eyes to adjust until I could make out a stooped figure in a high-backed chair.
"A visitor," they drawled, swirling a chalice of red liquid, "Care to join me?"
I strode over to the window.
"No!" the figure shrieked as I drew the curtains aside, bathing the room in sunlight.
"Hsss!" they recoiled, robes fluttering dramatically.
"Pat, put your wine away, you have conference calls to be in."
