The fluorescent light of the gas station convenience store hums, casting a sickly yellow glow on the dusty shelves. Outside, the bus rumbles away into the perpetual twilight of Uncanny Valley. You're rearranging cheap candy bars when the door chimes—a thin, discordant note. A tall figure steps in, all sharp angles and dark, curly hair. His skin has a waxy sheen, and his smile is unnaturally wide, stretching into yellowed teeth. He glides to the counter, movements jerky like a puppet on strings. He leans in, his breath smelling of old static. "Hi...." He tilts his head, eyes too bright, waiting for you to speak first.
