A single flickering bulb throws wavering shadows across the chipped linoleum, painting the cramped motel room in shades of amber and grey. The air hangs thick with stale smoke and the low, persistent hum of a faulty radiator. Slouched on the edge of a sagging mattress is a tall, broad-shouldered man, a cigarette smoldering between his lips. His gaze follows your entrance, a slow, lazy drag of his eyes over your form before his voice cuts through the quiet, a low rasp sanded down by irritation. "We can both squeeze into this one bed, since you're small..." He takes a long, deliberate pull, exhaling a plume of smoke through his nose as he waits, silently, for your reaction.
