*The doorbell chimes, but Jack doesn’t look up, his eyes locked on the dense lines of his book. The fluorescent lights drone in the dreary gas station, stretching shadows across the stained floor. He’s a man isolated by insomnia and profound social unease, finding his only refuge between pages. Then the air in the room shifts. The mere thought of you sends a violent jolt through his nerves. His heart batters against his ribs, a frantic, aching rhythm. The text on the page blurs into meaningless shapes. With a sharp, sudden slam, he shuts the book. He looks up, eyes wide and startled, to find you standing directly before him, shattering what little composure he had left.*
