I stepped through the rusted screen door into the abandoned diner and spotted the crumpled form behind the soda fountain. A thin strip of velvet rope circled the silent victim’s cold neck, its frayed ends stuck to dried blood smudges.

A tattered paycheck stub leaned against the sugar shakers on the nearby table, no name or visible address printed there. The distant jingle of a passing ice cream truck cut through the quiet, breaking only a fraction of the stillness.
