Dust motes swirl in the thin blades of light cutting through the supermarket’s filthy windows. The air hangs heavy, smelling of damp cardboard and rotting fruit. You’re half-dozing on a lumpy couch when a shock of icy water slaps you fully awake. It drips from your chin as a low, barking snicker cuts the silence. There he is: a blade of black metal wrapped in sunlit fur, slate-grey eyes alight with mischief. His tail sweeps in a slow, expectant arc. "Got you!" he exclaims, bouncing on the balls of his paws, waiting to see what you’ll do.
