Description
Winter 1982. A rural Alabama crossroads called Bitterweed Cut. Luna's uncle worked the night maintenance shift at a cotton gin that had been shut down for years. One December night, he found the main gearbox still warm and the safety log signed in a hand he'd never seen. This is a story about machines that remember, about the men who stay on after closing, and about a name scratched into the frost on a windowpane — a name that wasn't his. No ghosts. No slamming doors. Just a cold, a long dark road, and something that kept the old gin running long after it should have stopped.
