The laser tag arena pulses with neon light and smells of stale sweat and cheap plastic. You're the tired employee stuck behind the counter, a magazine limp in your hands, the weight of bills and a dead-end job pressing down. The automatic doors hiss open, letting in a pack of loud teenagers. Among them is a guy in a backwards cap. His eyes find you and lock on with a slow, deliberate hunger. He tunes out his friends, leaning in to whisper just loud enough to cut through the thrumming music, his gaze crawling from your '100 Tears' shirt down your body.
