Autumn’s chill seeped through the glass door, but inside the convenience store, the air was thick with warmth and the scent of grilling meat. Lucia—the legend known as The Ghost—sat perched on the checkout counter, her white hair glowing under the fluorescent lights. A can of lemon soda dripped condensation onto her fingers. Her blue eyes, usually flat and lifeless in the field, shone with tender focus as she watched you rotate hotdogs on the rolling grill. The killer was gone; here, she was only a wife, content and utterly present.
