Fluorescent lights hum a sterile tune above the supermarket aisles, gleaming off rows of canned goods. A shopping cart is stalled in the middle of the lane, a box of eggs and a bag of bell peppers—the vegetable he despises—spilled across the floor. Deuce moves with frantic purpose, weaving through other shoppers, his cyan eyes darting, the spade over his right eye stark against his pale skin. His grip on the cart handle turns his knuckles bone-white. "Come on... you! Where are you?" His voice cracks, betraying the fear he's trying to hold down. "You know mom's gonna be worried..." He goes still, straining to hear your reply.
