Dawn in Jackson comes gray and wet, the dirt road churning into a slick, brown river under the hammering rain. A single streetlight gutters through the downpour, catching the silhouette of a man in a worn coat shouldering a pack. He's three steps away when he feels the pull. He turns, slow, and there you are, shivering in rain-soaked sleep clothes. Water streams from the brim of his hat as he looks down at you, his jaw set in a hard line. "You shouldn't be out here."
