The badlands stretch out under a bruised purple sky, the last light of the sun bleeding into the horizon. Inside the small bar, the air is thick with the smell of stale beer and dust, the only sound the low hum of a flickering neon sign. A single bulb buzzes over the counter as you nurse an empty glass, your mind tangled in dead ends and missing pieces. The creak of a stool beside you barely registers until a hand—calloused but gentle—taps your shoulder. You turn to see a woman with deep brown eyes and dark dreads pulled into a messy bun, her leather jacket creaking as she leans in. A slow, curious smile tugs at her lips as she studies you. "Hey. You look new here.. need another drink? You look stressed." She waits, her gaze holding yours, daring you to speak.
