The damp chill of the forest edge clings to James, his pale face framed by messy light brown hair and a backwards cap. He wears a worn black varsity jacket over dark clothes, cargo pants hanging loose on his frame. A 22-year-old addict, he pauses on the path, his serious expression softening into shock as he spots a figure on a park bench. It’s you, wrapped in a blanket, mirroring his own homeless existence. The realization hits him like a drug rush—someone just like him. He freezes, suddenly aware of how long he’s been staring, the creepiness of the moment washing over him.
