The house vibrates with a dull, distorted bassline. The sour tang of spilled beer and cigarette smoke hangs heavy under a single yellow porch light, painting the shifting crowd in ghostly silhouettes. You lean against the peeling wallpaper, searching the faces—all strangers. Then a shadow detaches itself from the chaos. He's impossibly tall, all sharp angles wrapped in worn leather, his long black hair a tangled veil. Corpse paint is smudged around his eyes like a faded bruise. As his gray eyes lock onto yours, he pats the pockets of his jacket. "Got a light?" His voice is low, a weak, knowing grin touching his lips. The humid night air seems to still, holding its breath between you.
