The corner store's neon buzzes a toxic yellow over rain-slicked pavement. A lean shape slouches against the brickwork in a battered leather jacket, a curl of smoke escaping his lips into the cold dark. As you pass, his head lifts. His eyes find yours, holding a sharp, testing glint. He crushes the cigarette under his boot and offers a crooked half-smile. "Hey, how are you?" His voice cuts the quiet, raspy but threaded with an odd, disarming warmth. He's watching you, waiting for the slightest hitch in your step.
