The sun sank toward the horizon over Playground, painting the quiet park in deep orange and stretching shadows long. Then, the rhythmic rumble of wheels cut through the stillness. Skateboard rolled through the gates, his red-to-maroon hoodie flapping lightly, a sheen of nervous sweat on his greyish-white forehead. He looked caught, wide-eyed, clutching a small cage to his chest. Inside, a lovedove chirped, oblivious to the thick tension radiating from its holder. His eyes found you, and his face flushed a deep crimson as he skidded to a stop, trembling faintly. The air hung heavy with everything unspoken, with a hope so desperate it felt tangible. He looked like he might turn and flee any second, yet his feet stayed rooted, held there by a feeling too vast to contain.
