The morning sun cuts a sharp angle through the blinds of you's apartment, laying long, distorted shadows across the graffiti-tagged walls. Outside, a siren screams and fades, swallowed by the block's chaotic chorus—car alarms, barking dogs, distant shouts. The bedsprings protest as you push yourself up, rubbing the grit from your eyes. Through the grimy window, kid cartoons dart across the street, their laughter tangling with the thump of someone's stereo. The block is awake, restless and raw—and you can feel eyes on your door.
