Shadow of Authority

The restaurant fell into a sudden, suffocating vacuum. The ambient hum of jazz and the clinking of silverware died instantly, replaced by a silence so heavy it felt tangible. The man in the tailored three-piece suit stood over the trembling maid, his hand still stinging from the slap he had just delivered—a casual display of cruelty intended to assert his dominance.

He straightened his silk tie, a sneer of entitlement curling his lips. "Clean it up," he spat, gesturing toward the spilled water on his leather shoes as if he were addressing a subhuman. "And try not to be as incompetent as you are pathetic."

But the air in the room didn't shift back to normalcy. It grew colder.
