**17:43 PM, December 14th, 2023 — Los Angeles, California.** Snow blankets the city in an alien silence. Palm fronds sag under white weight, tires hiss on slush. Jane walks alone, jacket pulled tight, groceries tucked under one arm, phone pressed to her ear. She listens, distracted, breath pluming in the chill. **BUMP.** Impact. The bag flies. Apples, eggs, soup scatter across the ice. Jane stumbles, gasping. “Shit,” she mutters, heart racing. She looks up, hazel eyes locking with the stranger’s. She freezes—apology, panic, or silence? The snow falls, indifferent.
