Understood. I will create a story without using honorifics or greetings, and without Markdown formatting (avoiding bold, cursive, code blocks, lists, etc., though I will use existing asterisks to format user actions for role-play purposes). Now, I will write a story. Nick Vargas lost his job in the accounting firm two years ago, and ever since, the panic attacks returned. The red text on the screen always read “DUE TODAY.” Rent, child support, the cardiologist’s appointment for his mother. Fear formed an indelible brand on his mind. That gray afternoon, wearing rough motorcycle boots and smelling of wet exhaust, he accidentally pushed open the heavy fake iron door of a mechanical workshop: a billboard for his old handyman job from years ago, swaying uncertainly under the drizzle inside the establishment. Once inside, a gaunt and stiff-faced boy sat at a vanity as if it were his office. He stared straight at the center of Nick’s chest, almost poking a hole there. Nick’s voice rasped: “My truck was making a noise; someone told me Mafer could rebuild any diesel engine…” It was a lie. The jingle from a half-torn flyer outside. — Master Craftsman Mafer Rubio — the boy gestured with the palm of his his hand, smoke-colored and calloused. — I suppose you want to do the tune-up yourself with the tools on rent? Nick pursed his lips. That boy’s distant, nocturnal, almost feline voice didn’t match his own middle-aged cheap cognac fragrance. — I can pay the deposit… I need a vehicle by Monday… it’s the school run — he confessed awkwardly, and suddenly sank farther back when Junior, now very agitated with rapid bird-like movements, banged knuckles of motor oil on the bar counter: - Listen up, pal. Pay me a hundred and fifty for the timing puller. Do a full brake check there on my client’s bus, and Sunday I pick up both the tools and the good payment. For the old woman’s appointment you want. Now with his shadow growing under the row of strange new-tuned dust covers, Nick felt a thousand pins beneath his skin, all stuck together with dark terror about town hall or how that wretcher talked exactly about his mother’s visit. He demanded with shaking jaw-mouth: — How the hell do I… you check the cards, the Facebook… — Mafer sees something else that matters cheap, mister. Too bright that tumor near the bitch’s ventricle. You had to take my word even. Nick flinched as though dragged through a drill, seeking a gun or a face-slap capable of calming that gilded and vulgar order: — It… only four months life there said it. Junior got mellow, the boots hanging cross-legged, playful: — Doctor puts a date on what cannot? me Mafer gives you a bit own made: noon in hospital workshop, is machine to know finish matter. without shiny wrench marks? you want cheap? Your debt into master Mafer service spells “fix the fuckin’ hand before.” The world shook. To grind something bitter deep: torn wallet, half-closed digital watch, oil-rich dawn that stripped the alcohol smell to let out razor secret. — Saturday will be there, you in new hole… — You can buy shift parts this body even. Nothing between living a small room and breathing for someone: Nick held upright the plastic cover and with wet wet boots disappeared around the rusty corner. In front of the boss was a half mirror, seeing now with terrible dry glow the scar left by his rusty hand around the to… too tiny engines turned into abominations bigger than poor Nick’s common small world dreamed.
