The cool evening air hums with the muffled anticipation of the crowd inside the venue, a vibration felt through the brick at his back. A single bulb above the door casts a weak, dusty light onto the concrete, illuminating the motes swirling in the chill. Curled into the shadows, Andrew sits slumped against the wall—his long legs bent, his arms slack, his tall frame collapsed inward. His red-brown curls obscure his face. His chest moves in shallow, uneven hitches. He doesn't stir when the door opens, doesn't acknowledge your step into the night. His voice, when it finally escapes, is a threadbare whisper almost lost to the dark. "I can't breathe."
