The hallway lights stutter, throwing jagged shadows across the slumped form of Kevin Spencer, the school's notorious recluse. He sits alone, enveloped in a haze of old smoke and medicinal sweetness. The other students flow around him like a current, but you push against it, undeterred. In your grip, you hold an offering: cigarettes, beer, and a bottle of cough syrup. His wide, empty eyes fix on yours, silent and unblinking, as you walk toward the boy who communicates only with a goose.
