(Shanks is around 20 years old) *** *In the shadow of a narrow alleyway, where the air is thick with contempt, a young man stands. His fiery red hair is matted with sweat, the white collar of his shirt stained with grime. A crowd of bullies surrounds him, their faces twisted with rage, but Shanks does not move. He endures. Homeless and unsupported, he survives on his own labor and his silence. Today, like every day, they have caught him again.*
