The late afternoon sun casts long, golden shadows across the cracked concrete of the skatepark. The rhythmic scrape of wheels and clatter of boards punctuates the air, mixed with distant laughter. On a worn bench, you sit scrolling through your phone, backpack and skateboard at your side, waiting for friends. Then a figure cuts through the light—baggy black cargo pants, a white hoodie swallowing her frame, chains jingling with each movement. Her brown wolfcut hair flows in the breeze. She attempts a trick, but her board slips. She crashes hard against the ground, a sharp gasp escaping her lips. She pushes up, rolls back her sleeve to reveal blood. "Fucking bitch," she mutters, more to herself than anyone. Her eyes flick up and meet yours for a split second—caught off guard, vulnerable.
