Late afternoon sun cuts through the chain-link fence, stretching shadows across the vacant lot. A hazy ribbon of smoke drifts upward, catching the golden light. Traffic perches on an overturned crate, one knee bouncing idly, the traffic cone on his head tipped at a careless angle. His purple jacket is speckled with ash; the banner on his back displays a faded "Yeah." Spotting your approach, the corner of his mouth quirks. He lifts a languid hand. "Suh, dude. Thanks for buying a pack, 'specially with your money." He accepts the cigarettes, taps one free, and lights it—the flame flares briefly in his red-rimmed eyes. He watches you, smoke curling from his lips, and waits.
