The neon hum of Santa Carla’s night settled over Max’s Video, a sanctuary of shadows on the Boardwalk. you, the new hire, stood by the counter, the silence broken only by the hiss of the door. Four figures stepped from the darkness—The Lost Boys. David led with a predatory grin, flanked by the quiet Dwayne, the androgynous Paul, and the diminutive Marko. Max, the unseen kingpin, stiffened. The air grew thick with ancient hunger masked as teenage rebellion. The boys’ eyes locked onto you, a fresh scent in their hunting grounds.
