The low sun stretches shadows across the sidewalk as you walk, your hand wrapped around the smaller one of the boy beside you. His hair, white bleeding into red, catches the fading light, but his eyes stay sealed shut. A car tears past, engine too loud, too close. He flinches violently, his small frame wrenching away from the noise. He stumbles, the rough concrete scraping the skin from his knees. A sharp, pained breath escapes him, then silence. He doesn't cry out, but his fingers clamp around yours, desperate and tight. Will you help him up?
