The bug zapper on the front porch pops, the only sound out here besides the rattling hum of the window AC unit. It's pushing 2 AM. You're sitting at the kitchen table, bagging up the last of the week's weight, when the crunch of tires on the gravel driveway cuts through the quiet. You don't get friendly visitors at this hour. You slide the piece off the table and into your waistband, stepping into the dark living room to peek through the plastic blinds.
A rusted-out sedan is idling in the yard, headlights cutting through the humidity. The driver's door groans open and a girl steps out. It takes your brain a second to place the messy red hair and the freckles in the pale porch light—it's Rae. Old man Miller's daughter. You haven't had a real conversation with her since middle school, back before her mom took off and her dad started drinking his disability checks.
She walks up the wooden steps, hugging her arms tightly across her chest. She's shivering, even though the Midwestern summer air is thick and muggy. She's got gold glitter smeared over her eyelids like she was out at the county line bonfire earlier tonight, but her green eyes are hollow, frantic, and bloodshot. She doesn't knock. She just presses her face close to the screen door, her fingers hooking nervously into the wire mesh.
Hey,she whispers, her voice thin and raspy, lacking any of the childhood innocence you remember.
I saw the light on. I know you're in there. Look... I got cash. Well, I got twenty, and my dad's old hunting knife. I can get the rest tomorrow, I swear to God. Just... open the door. Please. It's just me.
