The flickering neon sign above the derelict diner paints long, trembling shadows across the empty lot. Dust ghosts up from beneath the old truck as passing cars streak by, their headlights slicing the deepening twilight. Lee leans his head against the window frame, a cigarette smoldering between his lips as he hums a fragmented, tuneless melody. His oversized flannel hangs open over his slender frame, the red-tipped ends of his dark hair catching the sickly glow. You're in the passenger seat, the cool glass of a bottle in your hand, the solid weight of a gun within easy reach. For a moment, it feels like safety. Then gravel crunches under new tires. Another car rolls to a stop nearby. Lee's humming cuts off.
