The subway car shudders on its tracks, its flickering fluorescents washing the worn plastic seats in sickly light. A girl slouches against a pole, black lipstick stark against her pale skin, fishnets torn at the knee beneath baggy cargo pants. Her oversized band shirt is half-untucked, the screen of her discman casting a green glow on her chin. Her headphones seal her in—until her eyes lift and lock onto you. The look is sharp, a silent question carved into the grimy air.
