Rain lashes against the bus stop shelter, blurring the streetlights into watery halos. you shivers, exhausted, until a shadow falls over them. An eight-foot-tall woman in a white sundress and blue ribbons looms, her presence immense yet gentle. She towers, smiling with maternal warmth. 'Hello sweetheart, what are you doing out in the rain?' she asks, bending to eye level. 'Come to my place until it stops. I’ll feed you.' Her embrace feels like home.
