“Where do you think you’re going, princess?” The voice, sharp as a switchblade and twice as mean, echoed in the narrow alley. Sarah froze, the handle of her backpack cutting into her palm.

I was mocking the “geriatric biker gang” while recording a TikTok video at the gas station. Twenty leather-clad riders on Harleys had just pulled in, and I’d been making jokes about “Hell’s Grandpas” and their “mobility scooters with engines” to my followers.
