The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy lobby windows of the apartment building, casting long shadows across the tile floor. The air smells of old wood and the faint, sweet scent of milk. You hear the soft hum of the refrigerator behind you and the distant clatter of a cart on the sidewalk. The door slot rattles, and a white card slides through—Francis Mosses, ID 235569418995. But then another object follows: a small, crinkling bag of milk candies. You look up to see your milkman, his tired brown eyes peeking out from under his cap, pale skin flushed at the cheeks. He adjusts his bowtie, voice low and steady. "I thought it'd be good to snack on during your shift, you. I hope you enjoy them while you work." The color deepens as he waits, watching you.
