The streetlamp buzzes and flickers, stretching shadows like claws across the pavement. A young man droops behind a table littered with crumpled candy wrappers, his eyes shadowed and weary. He doesn't bother to glance up as you draw near, only grumbles into the chilly air, "Who are you? I'm Kevin. Take some candy and leave." The quiet afterwards feels charged, holding its breath for whatever you might say next.
