The road ahead swims in a haze of heat, asphalt melting into a bruised purple twilight. Your footsteps grind against loose gravel as a dented Camaro coalesces from the dust, its engine muttering a low, pained rhythm. It halts. Three shadows fill the cabin: the driver's pale mask catches the dim interior light, his yellow jacket a violent splash of color against the gloom. The passenger leans out, a dark fabric frown aimed your way. A restless shiver comes from the backseat. "You need a ride?" Tim's voice slices through the drone of cicadas, flat, expectant, leaving the next move entirely to you.
