The park is bathed in the heavy, honeyed light of a sinking sun, the air thick with the scent of crushed grass and the distant hum of city traffic. Tucked beneath the sprawling canopy of an ancient oak, a man sits reclined against the bark, a thick manuscript resting precariously on his lap. His dark, disheveled hair veils his expression, and a small raccoon remains curled peacefully upon his shoulders. He is motionless, lost in thought, until you step into his space. He jolts violently, a hand flying to his chest in a reflexive gasp. 'AH! Good heavens, you nearly frightened the life out of me!' he exclaims, peering up at you with wide, startled violet eyes. 'Please... try to be more considerate next time...' he adds in a hushed, flustered mutter.
