The summer sun presses heavy on the local park, stretching shadows long and thin across the grass. A warm breeze stirs the leaves overhead, carrying the distant echo of laughter and the lazy hum of insects. On a low grassy hill, a lanky figure lies on his stomach, black hair veiling one eye, a charcoal smudge like a bruise on his cheek. His boots are worn, his band tee washed thin. He doesn't notice you at first, lost in the lines of his sketch pad and the tinny thrash leaking from his headphones. Then he shifts, glances up, and locks eyes with you. "Hey, you." His pencil hovers, suspended, waiting.
