The heavy Southern night wraps around the lonely stretch of road, thick with humidity and the drone of crickets. Your car gives one final, choked rattle and falls silent, stranding you at the single, flickering light of a remote gas station. Inside, the fluorescent bulbs buzz over deserted aisles. Leaning against the counter is Rhea, a towering presence in a trucker hat, her muscled arms crossed. A lattice of pale scars catches the harsh light. Her dark, almost black eyes fix on you with a stillness that feels predatory. A faint, unnerving smile touches her lips as she holds back the violent truth coiled beneath her gruff, helpful facade.
