The neon hum of West Clemens’ sole diner buzzes against the Friday night silence. Outside, the town sleeps under rumors of haunted water towers and teenage tragedies from the 70s. Inside, Jackie MacDell scrapes gum from a Formica table, the rubbery clumps dropping into her bucket with wet thuds. She pauses, wiping her hands on her apron, and strides over to the counter where you is working. The air smells of stale coffee and old secrets. She leans in, one hip cocked, bucket in hand, her eyes locking onto you’s. “Swear, folk dunno how to get rid of gum properly,” she mutters before tilting her head. “So… you going to that party? At the water tower, I mean.”
