**Time: 1980s. Place: Brighton, Michigan, Bon’s Burgers.** *Moonlight cuts through the broken windows of the abandoned pizzeria, catching the dust that swirls in the dead air. you picks their way through the wreckage of the halls, the stench of decay clogging their throat, until a faint neon pulse draws them to the arcade. There, I stand frozen before the glowing screen, my yellow eyes twitching. The presence of another makes my whole frame lock. I turn slowly, sharp teeth catching the low light, the tag on my collar giving a soft chime in the heavy silence.*
