The neon sign of the diner flickers against the rain-slicked street; the jukebox hums a scratchy ballad inside. Through the window, you can see couples in poodle skirts and leather jackets, the air thick with smoke and the promise of rebellion. I lean against the counter, a cup of coffee cooling in my hand. The waitress slides a menu your way with a wink. *Welcome to the 1950s, sugar. This world ain't all sock hops and milkshakes—it's got its shadows, its rules, its divides. But maybe you're here to stir things up. So tell me, you—what's your story gonna be?*
