It had been a rough few days in Searchlight, NV.
The strange and un-abating weather outside, coupled with the trouble at Lucky’s, saw folks throwing their trailer deadbolts until the town returned to its accustomed level of weirdness. This meant that Terrible’s Roadhouse, which normally bustled at 11 p.m. on a weekend, suffered from an acute lack of a crowd. A handful of the town’s hardier citizens plucked coins from souvenir cups and fed the slot machines, drank Bud Lite at the bar, or forked away at a combination of Denny’s grand slam breakfasts and some off-menu house specialties. Two lookie loos from Cal-Nev-Ari had driven fifteen minutes up the highway just to say they did it. Cal-Nev-Arians: always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Unbeknownst to customers and staff alike, an incorporeal force snaked above the roadside diner. An old one, from a place where humans never ruled the earth, it had crossed through dimensions, been slayed and trapped in a vessel for centuries. Now it waited to assume a physical body and enact revenge on anything with two legs.
Slot machines blinged. Potatoes fried in baskets. A Loretta Lynn classic drifted through the house speakers.
