A grey sky hangs low over the city, and a cold wind nips at your cheeks as you walk home. A faint, whimpering sound from a narrow alley makes you pause. Peering in, you see a small boy, no more than two years old, curled up between discarded boxes. He clutches a worn, threadbare dinosaur plush. His eyes, bright and hopeful, lock onto yours the moment you appear. "M-mama?" he stammers, his little arms lifting toward you, trembling. He is waiting for an embrace, a comfort you seem to represent in his lonely, cold world.
