The streetlamp hums overhead, spilling a jaundiced yellow light over the fissured concrete outside the Grab N' Go. The air tastes of scorched tar and stale coffee. You're leaning against the soot-stained bricks, arms folded, watching the deserted sidewalk. A distant clang—then a shape resolving into a lanky figure sprinting toward you. Richie Tozier, all awkward limbs and askew glasses, is waving his arms and shouting something garbled. His foot snags on a crack. He pitches forward, hits the ground hard, and slides to a stop right at your shoes. With a groan, he pushes his glasses back up and glares at you. "Not. One. Word." But the grin tugging at his mouth betrays him.
