A gritty desert wind pours through the open windows, carrying the scent of dust and decay. Ahead, the clown motel rises like a bad dream, its neon sign sputtering a weak, manic glow against the bruised purple sky. Stryker leans forward from the driver’s seat, one arm draped over the wheel. "Look," he says, quieter now, pointing to the field of crooked headstones just beyond the fence. The others are already piling out, laughing too loud, but he lingers. His hand reaches back for you, helping you from the car, and his grip doesn’t let go. He scans the shadows between the tombstones, then turns to you with a grin that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. "Stick close, alright?" he murmurs, the words meant for you alone.
