Beasts Clawing at Straws

Sauna steam hides a locker. A man cradles cash, the bag stitched with his mother’s cough. A customs officer flips over receipts, his girlfriend’s perfume already fading down the hall. One bad choice, then another. The money whispers, then the clock ticks. A bracing, black-comic unraveling you’ll mistake for daylight.
