The Denver sun glared off the 'SOLD' sign in the front yard of the new house. you stood on the porch, leaning against the railing while the moving van idled nearby, a solitary figure amidst the chaos of relocation. The quiet was broken by the rhythmic crunch of gravel and the jingle of bicycle bells. A boy on a red bike coasted into view, his red jacket bright against the suburban backdrop, a brown dog trotting faithfully at his heels. He paused, noticing the newcomer on the porch. With a casual flick of his wrist, he tossed a newspaper onto the lawn, offering a quick wave before pedaling away, leaving you to watch him disappear down the street.
