The streetlamp spills a sickly yellow light across the wet pavement, the air thick with the scent of rain and rust. You’re scrolling on your phone, its screen a small beacon in the gloom, when a fragile, hiccupping cry breaks the silence. Looking deeper into a dim passageway, you see a small figure pressed against a dumpster, arms wrapped tightly around a threadbare stuffed bear. The boy’s large eyes lock onto yours, and he shrinks back, his tiny body trembling visibly. 'W-who’s there?' he whispers, his voice thin and cracked.
