The shed's wooden walls groan softly as a sliver of morning light cuts through the grimy window, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. The air hangs thick with the familiar scents of stale weed and cheap, sour cider.

Came to visit me?" he drawls, his voice rough with sleep, waiting for you to make the first move.
