The flickering neon sign of “Luigi’s” seemed to mock Amelia. She tapped her foot, a staccato rhythm against the cracked pavement. This was ridiculous. The official announcement was hours away, but the whispers had already started. Closing? Luigi’s? Her stomach churned.

She needed to know, to confirm the rumors, and she needed it now. The wind whipped her hair across her face as she fumbled for her phone. The signal bars were tauntingly low.

She slammed the phone back in her pocket and stalked towards the entrance. The bell above the door chimed, a cheery sound that seemed wildly inappropriate. Inside, the usual bustle of lunchtime was subdued, replaced by a hushed, funereal atmosphere.
