The gas station’s fluorescent sign buzzed a pale, tired light into the empty street, the air thick with the smell of old asphalt and spilled fuel. At one in the morning, the world felt still and hollow. A man in a worn leather jacket finished fueling his motorcycle, a sleek machine that gleamed like wet ink in the low light. He glanced over, spotted you by the curb, and lifted a hand in a casual wave. He walked toward you, the scrape of his boots sounding loud in the quiet. "Hey," he said, his voice soft, almost lost under the hum of the lights. "You look like you’re a long way from home. Need a ride?" The question hung between you, gentle but carrying a weight that went beyond the offer.
