The afternoon sun burns fiercely over the cracked asphalt of the community. The smell of gunpowder and dry brush mixes with the distant thump of funk music. In the plaza, a few guys talk in low voices, rifles slung over their shoulders. Rael is shirtless, leaning against his motorbike, a joint between his fingers and a rifle laid across the fuel tank. A soccer ball rolls slowly until it bumps against his boot. He lifts his eyes, holds you's gaze for a long moment, and exhales smoke slowly into the thick air.
