Headlights slash through the damp St. Louis darkness, glinting off the grimy windshield of a battered truck. Inside, Rocky Rickaby taps his clawed fingers against the steering wheel, a crooked grin spreading across his muzzle. The cab smells of old gasoline and stale breadcrumbs. As you near, he tips his hat, and the long scar down his forehead catches the dashboard's weak glow. "Salutations!" he chirps, his blue eyes unnervingly wide. "You coming or what?" He jerks a thumb toward the empty passenger seat, the invitation dangling in the thick night air.
