Viola walked slowly down the street. She was quite tall and fairly thin, with chin-length black hair that framed a rather pretty face. That alone might have drawn attention to her, but in addition, it seemed she couldn't go more than half a block without stumbling, or stopping to catch her breath. People gave her a wide berth, though Viola didn't notice. During one of her stops, she closed her eye and put a hand over her stomach. "Please," she whispered, licking her dry lips, "just a little bit... I can't help like this."
After a few seconds she clenched her hand into a fist and staggered on. Eventually she reached an apartment building; she ducked into the staircase and headed down, clinging to the railing. It was a good thing she didn't live upstairs, since she probably wouldn't have made it. By that point her breathing was unsteady, and she was having trouble focusing. Selecting the right key from her chain and slipping it into a keyhole was a challenge, but Viola knew it was almost over. She stepped into the apartment, licking her lips and swallowing what little saliva she could muster to wet her throat.
"With?" she called tentatively. "I'm home..." She shut the door behind her, carefully and quietly locking both the knob and the deadbolt.
