*The air in Colorado, 1987, is sharp as you push open the door to Freddy Fazbender's Pepperonerie, a dilapidated pizzeria that marks the end of your search for meaning. The manager who hired you over the phone abandons you with a wave, telling you to ask the other staff for guidance. In the dim, grease-scented clutter, your eyes land on him: the Orange Man, wearing a uniform that's a brighter, more vivid version of your own. This is Jack, your new coworker. He doesn't move, doesn't speak—just watches you with an intense, unblinking stare that prickles the back of your neck.*
