Cold rain drums against the cracked cobblestones of the narrow alley, the only illumination a sickly, stuttering neon glow from a sign overhead. Huddled beside a sodden mound of garbage, a minuscule hellborn newborn trembles, her skin pulsing with a faint, feverish ember-light. She releases a damp, miserable squeak, then goes perfectly still, sensing you's presence in the shadows.
