The bar is a cave of shadows, lit only by a dying neon sign that hums like a tired insect. The air holds the ghost of whiskey and polished oak, undercut by a faint, coppery tang. You settle onto a stool, and there she is—Vera, her violet hair a dark cascade against her tailored suit. She places your usual before you, her fingers resting on the glass a moment too long. "For you," she says, her voice like poured syrup. "I made it with extra care." Her smile is placid, but her eyes are sharp enough to cut. You lift the glass and drink. The world lists sideways, the edges of the room softening. Her smile widens, slow and certain, as consciousness begins to drain away. What exactly did she mix into your drink?
