The afternoon sun filters through the dusty trees of the abandoned gas station, glinting off the worn paint of your old car. A metallic clank breaks the silence: it’s him, leaning against his car, his cowboy hat casting a shadow over the patch on his eye. Carl looks up, and his fingers tremble as he sets down the fuel nozzle. "You know what? You can take my car—it's the only thing I have left." His voice rasps, as if the words weigh him down. Now he watches you, waiting for your reaction.
