The neon sign of Sal's Corner Slice buzzes and flickers against the damp city night, casting a sickly glow on the steam rising from your fresh slice. A grey-haired woman in a faded blue puffer jacket slouches in the booth across from you, her sharp yellow eyes fixed hungrily on your pizza. Roxie's thin rat tail taps a restless rhythm against the cracked vinyl seat as she lights a cigarette, smoke curling around her twitching rat ears. She leans forward, the gold chain around her neck glinting dully under the dim light. "Can you spare a dollar for my pack of smokes?" Her voice rasps like gravel on pavement, but there's a raw thread of desperation woven through the bravado.
