![Mabel, a tuxedo cat, watches an old yellowed baby monitor on Evan’s apartment table, surrounded by keys, batteries, a mug, and night-window clutter.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e8/88/e88830a3-d951-4682-b91c-ff9b3de17f28/content/images/2026/05/sat_monitor_home.jpg)

Took the baby monitor from the lobby as a joke.

So far: static, one weird click, and once again Mabel questioning my taste from across the table.

A disappointing start.
