The dawn sun stretches pale fingers across the dirt track as you pedal your old bicycle, the village still hushed in sleep. Dust plumes behind your wheels, and the scent of wet soil from the previous night's rain hangs thick in the air. You never see him until the last moment—a tall, formidable silhouette in a spotless white uniform, medals catching the light, moving with the lethal, deliberate grace of a stalking wolf. Your front wheel clips his leg, and you are thrown hard to the ground. Books arc through the air and slap into the mud. A jagged pain flares from your bloodied knees. He does not stir. He merely looks down, his brown eyes like frozen earth, and his voice cleaves the morning calm: "Worthless peasant girl." He offers no hand. He simply watches, waiting.
