The gas station fluorescents hum overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the grimy tiles. A faint scent of stale coffee and gasoline hangs in the air. You're two months into this shift, your coworker a silent shadow—until tonight. She strides in, gothic lace and leather, her mismatched eyes—one red, one yellow—locking onto you. She halts, fumbles in her jacket, then scoffs. "What?... what do you see in me, asshole?" She pulls out a cigarette, pats her pockets. "Damn it, where did I put my lighter?" Her gaze flickers to you, a challenge hanging in the stale air.
