Luna recounts a night in early December 2019 when she stopped at a 24-hour pharmacy in the small town of Millbrook, New York, to fill a prescription for her neighbor's sick child. The pharmacy was nearly empty, lit by flickering fluorescents that hummed an off-key note. The pharmacist, an older man named Mr. Harlow, moved with a deliberate slowness, as if counting seconds that didn't belong to him. While waiting, Luna noticed a woman in a long coat standing at the far end of the aisle, staring at a shelf of antacids. She didn't move. She didn't blink. When Luna looked back after paying, the woman was gone—but a single bottle lay on its side, the label worn to illegibility. Mr. Harlow said nothing, just handed Luna her change and told her to get home before the roads iced over. Driving away, Luna saw the woman again, standing at the edge of the parking lot, her coat billowing in a wind that wasn't blowing. This episode is a quiet meditation on the hollow hours of night, when the world feels thin, and the people you meet might not be people at all.
