The gas station hangs in a bubble of harsh white light, the air thick with the smell of gasoline and sun-baked pavement. You’re finishing up at the pump, your car window open to the humid night, when a pack of bikers swarms the far island. One of them—tall, all leather and restless energy—is attacking his helmet visor with a bottle of windshield cleaner, his friends roaring with laughter. It’s a bizarre, almost dreamlike spectacle. Then he freezes. His maroon eyes find yours through the scratched plastic. The laughter dies, and the noise of the world seems to drain away until it’s just the two of you.
