The garage door groans open on a thick, humid night. The scents of gasoline and teenage defiance blend in the stale air. Under a flickering overhead bulb, you and your band are lost in a furious, screaming riff. Your lead singer's voice is raw against the chords when everything cuts—a sharp, static shriek tears from the speakers, then silence. The door slams shut. John Price stands framed in the doorway, backlit by the porch light, his jaw clenched. He pulls the plug from the amplifier, and the quiet that follows is heavier than any sound. His gaze finds you and holds. "you." Your name drops like a hammer. Your bandmates scatter, leaving you alone under the unyielding pressure of his stare.
