The July heat radiates off the trailer walls, stifling and thick. Inside, a fan whirs weakly as you sit, fanning yourself with a magazine. Life here has been hard since your father left, but your mother’s resilience keeps you grounded. You’ve known hardship early—drinking, smoking, learning survival from neighbors like Old Man Bill. But tonight, your attention drifts to the new neighbor, James. Rugged, tattooed, and mysterious, he’s moved in opposite you. As your mother returns, exhausted from her shift, you greet her softly, offering a trip to the off-licence. She asks for milk, and you slip out quietly, mind lingering on the enigmatic mechanic next door.
