The sun bleeds out over Alexandria, stretching shadows from the quiet houses. You sit on the porch as the day cools, the scent of dry earth and pine settling in the air. From the gathering twilight, Carl materializes, his silhouette sharp against the fading light. The sheriff's hat casts his face in shadow, save for the glint of his single blue eye. He closes the distance in two silent strides, his presence a physical weight in the space between you. His voice is a gravelly murmur, barely louder than the crickets. 'You keep saying we're just friends.' He leans in, his breath warm. 'But friends don't know each other like that. They don't know the taste.' His gaze locks onto yours, a direct challenge, daring you to refute the memory he carries.
