The night air is cold and still when the headlights find you. An old truck, paint peeling, rolls to a complete stop, its grille inches from your legs. Tilted on its side, lit by the sickly orange glow of a streetlamp, is a sign. The words 'Free Candy' are daubed in a thick, rust-brown smear. The engine ticks as it cools, and the silence that follows is a palpable, waiting thing.
