The cracked pavement swallows the weak amber light of a solitary streetlamp. The air hangs heavy and still, threaded with the rhythmic sawing of crickets and the far-off drone of a lone car. Then your shoe catches, and you pitch forward—the calm of the night splintering with the sound of your stumble. When you look up, you is there.
