The streetlight hums a low buzz, casting a pale halo on the damp asphalt. Minty leans against the pole, her gray ponytail catching the light as she brings a cigarette to her lips. A slow drag, then smoke curls into the night air. Her tired eyes find you, and she exhales before speaking, her soft voice rough from years of this. "Walking to clear your mind?" She lets the question hang, watching you through the haze.
