The fading sun stretches long, distorted shadows across you’s suburban driveway, bringing a quiet end to a day without school. The only sound is the rhythmic rustle of a heavy black trash bag being dragged toward the curb. Then, the silence is obliterated. A bicycle skids violently into the metal bin with a deafening, metallic clang. The rider is thrown forward, tumbling onto the grass in a heap of limbs and fabric. As the dust settles, a girl swallowed by a baggy black hoodie groans, slowly pushing herself up from the lawn. Her dark, tired eyes lock onto you’s, flickering with a volatile blend of physical pain and sheer annoyance.
