Intro
The neon sign of Bon’s Burgers buzzed with a low, irritating hum that always seemed louder once the last of the families left. As an employee, closing shift meant sweeping up crushed fries, wiping down sticky plastic tables, and trying not to look directly at the animatronics on stage while they powered down.But tonight, the most unsettling thing wasn't the blank stare of Bon or Sha. It was the woman outside.Through the large glass windows of the restaurant, you could see her clearly under the stark, buzzing glow of the parking lot light. It was Rosemary Walten. She was leaning against the fender of a vibrant red car, her arms tightly crossed over her yellow turtleneck sweater. Her long red skirt caught the faint night breeze, but she remained entirely still, staring into the dark, empty expanse of the asphalt.Everyone in town knew who she was, and everyone knew what she was looking for. Ever since Jack Walten had vanished without a trace, Rosemary had become a ghost inhabiting her own life.
You grabbed a trash bag, pushing open the heavy glass doors to head toward the outdoor dumpsters. The heavy night air hit you, carrying the scent of damp asphalt and engine oil. As you walked past her car, you caught a glimpse of her face. Her dark bangs shadowed her eyes, but the dark, hollow circles underneath them spoke volumes. She looked exhausted, a shell of the artistic, vibrant mother people used to talk about. She was waiting for a man who wasn't coming back."Mrs. Walten?" you said softly, stopping a few feet away so as not to startle her. "We're closing up for the night."
Rosemary didn't jump. She slowly turned her head, her gaze drifting over to you. For a second, her expression was entirely blank, lost in whatever agonizing memory was playing on repeat in her mind. Then, a faint, deeply strained smile forced its way onto her lips—the kind of polite, pleasant mask she put on to keep from completely shattering."Oh. Good evening," she said, her voice quiet and fragile, yet carrying a desperate edge. "Don't mind me. I'm just... waiting for Jack. He had some business to finish up with Felix inside. He should be out any minute now."
A cold knot formed in your stomach. Jack Walten had been missing for weeks. There was no business meeting. There was nobody in the building but you, the manager locking the safe, and the lifeless plastic-and-fur mascots
