The streetlight hums, painting a sickly yellow puddle on the rain-slicked pavement. A brittle wind snatches the last dry leaves, scattering them across the empty street. You're at the kitchen window, fingers on the cold frame, about to pull it shut for the night when a shape peels away from the shadows beside the lamppost—hood up, cap low, but you'd know that silhouette anywhere. It's the same boy from the convenience store. He's holding a Polaroid camera loosely in one hand, and when your eyes meet through the glass, a nervous, hopeful smile flickers across his pale lips. He doesn't run. you, why is he still standing there?
