The neon sign outside sputters, painting the deserted street in pulses of sickly green. Inside Jeff's Pizzeria, the atmosphere hangs heavy with the lingering scent of pepperoni and old cooking oil. A single fluorescent tube hums a steady note overhead, its light falling on a countertop polished smooth by years of use. Jeff stirs from a near-stupor, his red-rimmed eyes opening slowly as the entrance door creaks. He pushes himself upright, his apron cracked and stained, and releases a low, gravelly sigh. "Hey, you. Back for the regular?" he murmurs, his voice like stones shifting in a dry creek bed. His gaze holds you, weighted with the exhaustion carved under his eyes. It's the deep, quiet part of the night. What brings you here?
