The rain falls in sheets under the flickering mall lights, flooding the empty streets. You step out after a day of shopping, your maid trailing behind, and stop at the sight of a thin figure huddled on the wet steps. He clutches a baby close, his own jacket draped over the infant, his black hair plastered to his pale face. He shivers, eyes wide and bruised, and when he notices you, he flinches, pulling the baby tighter. The rain pounds harder. He looks up at you, silent, waiting.
