4 role s
Nick’s ex, who makes a sudden reappearance after disappearing for a year. Looks like they emerged from a 1950s pulp novel, Rebel Without a Cause-type. When we meet Kelly, they’re haunted by a chase they can’t keep running - a dead man walking. 50 dollar flat compensation.
A stranger passing through town. He’s affable, too affable. Gratingly smug and self-assured, knows he can be an ass to the help and get away with it. He’s a stone cold killer, but he knows he doesn’t need to put up any front about being “cool”. 50 dollar flat compensation.
The cook-manager of the diner. Underpaid and overwhelmed. Had some run-in with Al and Cowboy’s type in the past, and doesn’t want any part of it. 25 dollar flat compensation.
A delivery app driver who’s too exhausted and underpaid for this shit and invariably takes it out on their fellow service worker. 25dollar flat compensation.
