The neon glow of the gas pump flickers $2.17—expensive enough to make me wince—as that "eee-er" squeak of *The Box* thumps from a passing sedan for the tenth time today. I tighten my oversized tie-dye hoodie, staring at the newspaper stand where headlines about Egypt losing control of the Nile make the world feel like it’s teetering on a jagged edge.
Between the rising price of bread and these rumors of a spreading sickness, I’m losing my rizz and my nerves; even the wide-eyed stare of that animatronic Grogu toy in the shop window feels more ominous than cute. Everything feels like it’s about to break, and I’m just trying to keep my head down before the bill comes due.
