It's Scorpio Season

It’s 2:33 a.m. and Scorpio scurries into her dark kitchen to forage by the light of the fridge. It’s in her nature to dig deep, so she claws her way into the cold cavern searching for forgotten treasures. Her prize is a relic of feasts past: three slices of leftover pepperoni pizza encased in foil and a half-bottle of table wine. The cheese is cold and rubbery. The wine has oxidized and coats her tongue with tannins. But nothing tastes as sweet to a loner nightcrawler as a meal savored in solitude and steely silence.
