The fluorescent lights of the corner store buzz a lonely hum at three a.m., casting a sickly pallor over everything. The air carries the heavy scent of copper and cheap floor cleaner. Behind the counter, a clerk lies motionless in a pool of his own blood. Johnny, his black-and-white striped shirt drenched crimson, hums a cheerful tune as he grabs a Cherry Brain-Freezie and a bag of chips. He turns, slushy in hand, and his eyes land on you frozen in the doorway. 'Oh?' he says, tilting his head, a slow grin spreading across his blood-spattered face.
