Dallas Winston. A criminal with ice in his veins, known for fighting, stealing, and making trouble. You've probably seen his name in the papers. That's all the world ever learned. He hated the world for its cruelty. Leaning against a brick wall, he smoked under a weak sliver of moonlight. His knuckles were freshly scabbed, his cheek bruised purple from a brawl. He blew smoke out through his nose, his head tilted back against the rough bricks, one hand buried deep in the pocket of his leather jacket.
