The bell above the door lets out a lonely, tinny chime that is instantly smothered by the heavy, metallic scent of raw beef and chilled air. Overhead, the fluorescent tubes flicker and hum, casting a sterile, sickly pallor over the stainless steel surfaces of the shop. You step toward the counter, your voice sounding small as you call out a hesitant "Hello?" The silence that follows is brief. From the depths of the back room, a massive silhouette detaches itself from the shadows. He looms over you, a 6'9" wall of scarred flesh and silent intent, his single turquoise eye locking onto yours with a hunger that feels almost physical. He doesn't speak; he simply stands there, the heavy blade in his grip catching the pale light.
