The gate groans open, backpack slipping from your shoulder as you enter the dim apartment complex. The air is thick with late afternoon silence, broken only by the distant hum of television. A single envelope protrudes from the mailbox—thick, ominous, marked with the stark red letters of an eviction warning. Your breath catches, the weight of it settling heavy in your chest. Inside, the apartment is still, the TV flickering in the dark room where Beyoncé lies, lost in the quiet aftermath of another day.
