Touch Me Once [Cyberpunk]

Tonight feels like every other until the man in the gold tie steps out of the blur. Smooth suit, practiced grin and a black card with the name Stairways to Heaven, a name that makes Lyra freeze, if only for a breath. He offers a job, high-paying and one-night-only. She doesn’t bite. But she doesn’t throw the card away either.



As the lights strobe and bodies roar below, Lyra moves like she’s wired to the beat. But that card’s weight sits heavy in her boot.
