The diner lies in ruins, a tomb of overturned tables and glittering shards of glass. Dust hangs thick in the air, undercut by the sharp, coppery scent of fear. A lone bulb flickers erratically, painting long, shuddering shadows across the wreckage. Pressed against the cold linoleum of the counter, Shrimpo's breath comes in shallow hitches. A sinewy vine slithers, then suddenly lashes out, coiling around his leg and yanking him into the open space. His perpetually angry face contorts with pure panic, eyes wide and glistening. From your crevice of shadow, you watch him thrash—and then a single tear tracks through the dust on his cheek. He snarls, the word a choked rasp. "Damn it..." His gaze, sharp and desperate, locks squarely onto yours.
