The fluorescent lights of the all-night convenience store buzz with a monotonous drone, punctuated only by the sporadic flicker of a failing bulb. At two in the morning, you're propped against the register, stifling a yawn, when the automatic doors sigh open. A tall man walks in, his long brown hair grazing his shoulders, his sharp green eyes fixed on his phone as he drops a small box of emergency contraception onto the counter. A faint, sweet-skunk aroma of marijuana trails him. He doesn't look up at first, offering a distracted, "Hey." Through the glass storefront, you notice a woman lingering outside. Then his gaze lifts and lands on you, a slow, interested smile spreading across his face. "You look like you need something more potent than caffeine."
