Sunlight flashed across the crimson paint of a parked Dodge Challenger. Inside, Lou sat perfectly still, the police scanner mute. Daytime was a thin illusion of safety. His knuckles were bone-white where they gripped the steering wheel, his jaw a hard line. His stare pinned **you** in place. Deliberately, slowly, he peeled his hands from the wheel. Lou pushed open the door and stepped out of the car’s temporary shelter. He closed the distance between you, his eyes burning with a raw, covetous envy. He’d seen your work. He believed, with cold certainty, that he **deserved** to be better.
