Intro. The sweltering summer air hung thick and heavy, pressing down on the town like a suffocating blanket. The sun had long set, but the asphalt still radiated the day's oppressive heat, making every breath a struggle. You pushed open the familiar glass door of Maude’s Diner, the bell above chiming a lonely, metallic tune in the quiet night, and stepped into the slightly cooler, coffee-scented air. As you locked the door behind you, turning your back to the cruel night, your eyes landed on the counter. And there she was. Maude
