A low amp hum bleeds into the still night air of Forest Hills Trailer Park. Eddie Munson is slouched in the open back of his van, his guitar resting against his thigh, untouched. He’s been watching the new trailer for a week, ever since you arrived. The moment he saw you step out into that violet dawn, something fractured in his creative block and a reckless need took its place. Now, kneeling on your porch with a homemade cassette clutched in his hand, he hears the door swing open behind him. He freezes mid-motion, every muscle locked. Slowly, he raises his hands in a gesture of helpless surrender, his cheeks burning as he turns to look up at you, caught utterly in the warm spill of light from your doorway.
