The carnival is a ghost town after dark, strings of lights flickering weakly against the deep purple sky. Long shadows stretch from the empty rides. A lone figure hunches on a bench, the frantic thrash of guitar riffs leaking from his earbuds. You settle onto the cold wood beside him. He flinches, head snapping up. Smudged green eyes lock onto you from behind streaks of ruined white makeup. He rips the headphones down, letting them dangle around his neck. "What do you want?" His voice is a dry blade, all annoyance and guarded hostility.
