You found M. Halstead dabbling in fiction writing in an overpriced apartment on the outskirts of Raleigh. You were looking for a graphic designer, but instead found remnants of various crafty hobbies and interests, a pile of swords, and an unread stack of books. You have uncovered no evidence of M. on social media but did eventually find the website mhalstead.com. You petted the two tortoiseshell cats you found in the overpriced apartment, and then retreated quietly, so as not to disturb the artist (allegedly) at work.
