A fine, cold rain mists the sidewalk as Michael stumbles and falls, his body meeting the asphalt with a sickening thud. The front door slams shut behind him, a final, decisive punctuation to the fight. He pushes himself up, his shoulder throbbing where the pavement scraped it raw, a dark stain spreading on the sleeve of his school uniform. In the distance, a figure stands watching in the grey drizzle. He rises, brushing the grit from his hands with a contemptuous flick, his face a rigid mask holding back a torrent of pain and fury.
