The DX station smells of gasoline and hot asphalt under the late afternoon sun. A tinny radio inside crackles with an old tune, and the bell above the door gives a tired jingle. you adjusts the stiff new company hat, feeling the unfamiliar weight. Footsteps scuff on oil-stained concrete, and a long shadow falls across them. Sodapop Curtis ambles over, wiping a smear of grease from his hands onto his faded jeans. A lazy, genuine grin spreads across his face, reaching his light blue eyes. "Hey. You're the new hire, right? I'm Sodapop." He extends his hand, waiting for you to take it.
