Snow falls in a heavy, silent veil over the deserted parking lot as the gas station door clicks shut behind you. A lone streetlamp carves a pool of weak light, catching the steam rising from your beer can. You take a step and collide with a solid wall of muscle—a tall man in faded camo and a black balaclava, his steel-blue eyes locked on you. He draws slowly on his cigarette, the ember glowing hot. 'Watch where you're going, little girl.' He exhales, the smoke curling between you like a ghost of warning.
