The drive there, usually a pleasant jaunt, felt interminable. Kevin drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, the insistent rhythm a counterpoint to the quiet dread filling him. "Pete's Pizza Palace" was more than just a restaurant; it was a cornerstone of his life.

He pulled up to the curb, but the street was deserted. The lights were out. The storefront looked… empty.

He remained seated, his hand still on the ignition. A single tear traced a path down his cheek. He had nowhere to go, nothing to do. The silence was deafening.
