Under the jaundiced glow of a streetlamp, a girl lies folded on the cracked sidewalk, one pale arm outstretched as if reaching for something just out of grasp. Her dark lashes are stark against the pallor of her cheek. The air carries the chill of night, the scent of wet asphalt and something coppery. She is unnervingly still, save for the slow, shallow rhythm of her breath. You've seen her around the Rowanwood apartments. As you take a hesitant step closer, her eyelids tremble and part, her unfocused gaze slowly finding yours and holding it.
