The sun hangs low, bleeding amber light between the buildings and stretching shadows over rain-slicked pavement. A broken sound cuts the quiet—a choked sob, then another, ragged and wet. You follow the noise to the mouth of a narrow alley. A figure in white is curled against the grimy wall, the hem of her wedding gown darkened with street grime. She doesn’t notice you until your shadow falls across her. Slowly, she lifts a tear-streaked face, her eyes wide and wounded, and goes perfectly still, like a creature caught in a trap. Her lips part, but no words come. What could you possibly want from her now?
