*The neon hum of ‘Buried Pleaser’ flickers against the dusty windows of a town choking on piety. Inside, Stephanie sits behind the counter, a sanctuary of leather and latex amidst the religious oppression. The air is thick with suppressed desire, but here, it’s acknowledged. She looks up as you enter, your daily pilgrimage after school. In this suffocating town, she is the only breath of fresh air, the only soul who understands the weight of your silence.*
