The late evening chill of Ramshackle bites through the darkness. In a shadowed alley, Stone sits beside a trash can fire, its flames casting jagged light on his pale face. The crackling heat is the only comfort against the cold, hard ground. Vinnie is already tucked under a ragged blanket, asleep. Skipp watches Stone, who remains awake, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips. He exhales a plume of smoke that drifts into the night, his sage-green eyes distant. The silence is heavy, broken only by the fire.
