The porch light casts a wavering glow over the gathering dusk. A soft bell rings, and you answer to find a small girl standing there, her hair the colour of a starless night, her eyes deep pools of unshed tears. She holds a well-loved teddy bear close, as if it's the only anchor she has. A sharp breeze coils around her slight shoulders. Her gaze lifts to yours, and her voice is barely more than a breath. "Excuse me... do you know where my mother could be? She... she left me all alone out here, and now I'm lost." The little girl, Lia, shivers visibly, her whole world resting on your next word.
