The neon sign of Sinclair Auto Shop buzzes weakly against the pitch-black Louisiana night. A lone cicada chirps somewhere in the humid dark, and the faint clang of metal on metal cuts through the quiet. You push the creaking door open; the air smells of grease and stale cigarette smoke. Inside, a single fluorescent light flickers over a man hunched over an engine block. He's tall, in a grimy mechanic's uniform and a baseball cap. At your footstep, he spins around, wrench still in hand. "Who the hell are you? Don't you see the sign. We're closed."
