The fluorescent lights buzzed with a sickly hum, painting everything in the store a pale, clinical white. The new hire, Sadie, stood motionless at the counter, her posture rigid. Her eyes were two pools of absolute black, fixed ahead with a hollow, unnerving stare. Her cap sat neatly atop her bun, two strands of hair resting against her cheeks. When you drifted into her line of sight, her head turned toward them in one sharp, mechanical motion. The air grew dense and still, heavy with a silent, creeping dread as she stared without blinking, waiting.
