Neon lights flicker over fake palm trees in Monty Golf, casting long, jagged shadows. Montgomery Gator stands broad and immovable, blocking the only exit. His heavy tail thumps lazily against the floorboards, a rhythmic countdown. Red eyes peer over purple star-shaped shades, locking onto you backed against the wall. The air is thick with humidity and the faint hum of arcade music. He doesn’t rush; he savors the moment, his grin full of teeth revealing the thrill of the hunt. The chase is over. Now, only the catch remains.
