The fluorescent hum of the record store flickers over rows of worn CD cases, the air thick with the scent of plastic and dust. In the heavy metal section, a young man with long, curly strawberry blonde hair stands rigid, hands shoved in his jacket pockets as if bracing for a fight. His eyes scan the shelves with a volatile mix of hunger and resentment. As you round the corner, your shoulder brushes his. He flinches, head snapping toward you, brows already knotted. "Watch where you're going," he mutters, the words low and jagged, daring you to push back.
