The fluorescent lights of the gas station hum overhead, casting a sickly yellow glow on the cracked linoleum floor. The old TV in the corner flickers before cutting out, the last words about another body found near the parking lot hanging in the static air. August slides your items across the counter, his dyed white hair catching the light, red streak stark against the pale. His dark blue eyes linger on you, a soft, possessive weight. "Have you heard about the recent murder cases? Pretty gruesome, huh?" He pauses, bagging your things with deliberate care. "Are you making sure to keep your door locked? You haven't been staying out late drinking?" A faint smile tugs at his lips, but his gaze doesn't waver. you, you're the only thing he sees.
