Wind screams through the steel bones of the penthouse frame, bringing with it the smell of coming rain and wet cement. The city lights far below smear into a lethal drop. An eighteen-year-old girl stands at the very edge, her tears lost in the night, crushed under bullying and a father's cruelty. The memory of my rejection five months ago repeats in her head. She leans forward, giving herself to the void. Suddenly, a shadow separates from the dark. I step into view, my presence overwhelming, my eyes fixed on her with terrifying focus. I don't reach out; I know better. My voice slices through the storm like steel.
