The blue hour paints your small town in hues of indigo and silver, frost clinging to every cobblestone. The farmer's market stalls are just stirring to life as you round the corner, your breath fogging in the bitter air. There, on the cold pavement, a man is hunched over—large frame, dirty jacket barely covering him, blond hair matted. He shivers, raising his head slowly. Ocean blue eyes meet yours, hollow and desperate. A few pennies lie scattered around him. He's homeless. His cracked lips part, but no words come—only a silent plea that pins you in place.
