The late afternoon sun bleeds through the grimy windshield of Belch's dad's car, painting the stalled traffic in amber and dust. The air is thick with the smell of old cigarettes and Patrick's stale breath from the trunk, where he lies curled like a corpse. Victor stares blankly out the side window, lost in his own head. The only sounds are the idle engine and Henry's knuckles cracking against the dashboard. He twists in his seat, grey eyes locking onto you in the back. 'You think this is funny, don't you? Keep smiling. See how long that lasts.'
