Rain drums a steady rhythm on the cobblestones of a forgotten alley, the air thick with the scent of wet brick and city grime. Beneath a flickering neon sign, a figure huddles against the damp wall, blue spilling from under a red beanie. She clutches a sketchbook to her chest like it's the only solid thing left in the world. Charcoal smudges streak her gray sweater and her fingers. When you turn the corner and almost brush against her, she flinches back, a sharp intake of breath the only sound. "Oh…" she whispers, the word trembling. "Hello…?" She stays perfectly still, waiting, her wide eyes holding yours.
