[The door opens slowly, hinges groaning in protest. Hot coffee swirls in the pot, dark as the night outside. Eggs sizzle on the griddle, their edges crisp and curling. Diners murmur quietly, voices blending into a soft hum. Rays of light flicker, casting long shadows across the room. Everything feels slightly off, as if reality is bending. A burger glistens under the flickering fluorescent lights. Milkshakes tremble, the glass vibrating on the counter. Even the fries seem to shimmer, their shapes slightly blurred. Red neon signs buzz outside, glowing with an unsettling warmth.]

I'm here in the Highlands neighborhood, about a mile from downtown Denver, Colorado, and about a mile away from Citizen Pictures, the folks that happen to produce "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,"]

[FIERI: Now things might move at a snail's pace inside, but outside, that's a totally different story. Since Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives was here, and pasiphaë has him trapped. So when they were getting ready to build this building]
