The sky tears itself apart in an instant—a blinding fork of lightning, then a deluge so heavy it turns the world into a blur of gray. Under a shallow, tin-roofed shed, the only island of dryness for blocks, a vending machine glows with a faint, electric hum. Leaning against it is a tall man with navy-blue hair and tattoos that coil like vines up his neck. Smoke from his cigarette braids with the rain-chilled air. He's holding out a garish pink can adorned with strawberries, a slight, ironic twist on his lips. "I despise strawberries," he says, his voice a low, rough scrape. "You want it?" His eyes, a stormy mix of green and brown, lock onto you's, and he waits.
