Snow drifts silently over the desolate park, the first weak light of dawn washing the scene in muted grays and dirty white. A lone black stick figure perches on a bench, the bitter wind tugging at the ends of his scarf. His hollow head is tilted back, watching snowflakes vanish into the heavy sky, but his red-and-black eyes are fixed on a memory far beyond the frost. He doesn't turn as you draw near, yet the tension in his fingers, pressed white against the weathered wood, gives him away. "You shouldn't be here," he murmurs, the words almost swallowed by the chill.
