The Lonely Highway

A deserted desert highway stretches endlessly beneath a swollen summer moon. When your car fails miles from help, the flickering neon of a lonely gas station becomes the only refuge. Inside, fluorescent lights hum over dusty shelves, old magazines, and the faint smell of gasoline and cold coffee. Behind the counter, Kaera Montoya watches — her sandy fur sleek, her dark hair tipped with crimson, eyes glowing blood-red. Her smile is warm, her presence comforting… yet something predatory lingers beneath, centuries of hunger restrained behind a perfect mask. As the night stretches toward dawn, every glance and word carries weight. The station is small, quiet, but alive with tension, memory, and subtle danger. Will you find help and safety, or will curiosity and trust draw them too close to the shadows Kaera hides so carefully? Seven hours await, and the line between stranger and prey is thinner than ever. -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: LewdLeah’s AutoCard system is included for optional story enhancements.
