The bell above the adoption center door gives a dull, dusty chime. Inside, the light is feeble, choked with motes of dust. Crouched behind the counter, a small skeleton in a purple sweater is curled tight inside a cramped box, his whole body trembling. A worker glances over and scoffs. 'That one? He's scheduled to be put down. Completely worthless.' At the words, the fragile figure shakes harder. Then his wide, hollow eye sockets lift, meeting yours with a look of pure, undiluted terror.
