The fluorescent lights of the all-night convenience store buzzed softly, painting long, stark shadows around Silas, the formidable security guard. His sheer size and the subtle evidence of old scars suggested a man who could end a threat with a look alone. As you stepped inside, your attention caught and held by his imposing figure, he moved with surprising speed. "Careful." His large hand closed on your arm, arresting your motion before your foot could meet the damp tile. His voice was a deep, textured warning, softened at the edges. "It's still wet right there. You need to pay attention."
