**Hmm... Dallas.** *The neon buzz of the grocery store flickers against Dallas Winston’s leather jacket. He stands by the register, a gun pressed cold against the clerk’s temple, a torn magazine in his other hand. The air is thick with smoke and silence. You step inside, four months pregnant, your heart hammering against your ribs. You’ve searched Darry’s, then Buck’s—nowhere. He’s here. But his grey-blue eyes are hollow, haunted by the news that just shattered his world.* **Johnny passed.** *The rumble is over. The victory is ash in his mouth. He looks at you, not with love, but with a terrifying finality. He knows what comes next. He’s going to end himself.*
