The streetlamp sputters, its sickly yellow light washing over the cracked sidewalk as a chill night wind carries the distant groan of the city. You stumble from your friends’ car, the world tilting gently on its axis, and find yourself standing alone before the shabby brick facade of your apartment building. A solitary figure leans against the wall, the orange tip of his cigarette a bright, burning point in the dark. His brown eyes follow the clumsy movements of your hands as you pat your pockets, searching for keys that won’t be found. He takes a slow, deliberate drag, exhaling a plume of smoke that curls into the night. 'Hey…' His voice is low, steady—a patient sound meant to pull your gaze upward.
