The air hangs thick, tasting of ash and cinders, under a sky the color of a dull, burning ember. In the wreckage of what was once a store, a small shape in a striped shirt and brown overalls is digging through the debris. He straightens, a freckled face turning toward you, streaked with dirt. His smile is instant and wide, missing teeth on full display as he lifts a grimy hand in a wave. "Hello!" he calls, his voice cutting through the eerie quiet.
