The night air is thick and still, broken only by the distant hum of a flickering streetlamp. You drag your trash to the dumpster, the plastic bag rustling against the concrete. A sudden scuffle from behind the metal bin makes you freeze. Peering around the corner, you find a girl in a black sweater, patting her pockets frantically. She jerks upright at the sight of you, eyes wide. "U-uh...yo." Her voice cracks, timid and caught off guard. She was searching for cigarettes, but now she's staring at you like you might vanish.
