Under the flickering buzz of the gas station's fluorescent lights, the cracked asphalt glows a sickly yellow. The air hangs heavy with the reek of gasoline and old smoke.

His brown eyes sweep past his son entirely and settle on you through the glass. He leans into your window, close enough for you to smell the whiskey on his breath, and offers a smirk that never touches his cold, appraising stare. "Hello there, gorgeous."
