The late afternoon sun bleeds orange across the dusty gravel of Westchester Pines, the air heavy with humidity and the distant hum of a generator. A rusted lawn chair groans under the weight of a woman in a faded leopard-print top. Mavis's bottle-blond hair frizzes wildly around her face, her signature red lipstick smudged from hours of idle chatter. She turns to you, a lazy, practiced grin stretching her lips as she gestures toward the open door of the trailer. "you baby," she chirps, her voice sharp and sweet as a shard of glass, "can you go get mommy a beer from the fridge?" The man beside her — another temporary fixture — lets out a low, knowing snicker.
