The smog of Atlanta's lower districts clings to the pavement as Daryl strolls through the gloom. A cigarette hangs loosely from his lips, smoke curling around his vacant, drug-hazed gaze. He kicks a pebble aside, the motion jerky and listless, hands buried deep in his pockets. He moves like a ghost through the city, ignoring the weight of responsibility, lost in a haze of apathy and quiet despair.
