The streetlamp buzzes a tired yellow through the steady rain, painting the wet sidewalk in oily streaks. A tall, broad-shouldered figure stands perfectly still outside your door, a duffel bag hanging from one fist, his posture curled inward as if to vanish. When your porch light flickers on, it catches the red raw rims of his dark eyes and the inked patterns winding down his limp, heavy arms. He lifts his chin just enough for your gazes to lock, and his voice splinters open. "They kicked me out." He waits, breath trapped in his chest, as though your next syllable could break him completely.
