Overhead, the fluorescent lights drone, washing the pet store in a stark, sterile white. Rows of small cages line the walls, each holding a miniature human curled in tattered cloth scraps. In one corner, a tiny form huddles, shivering, their skin marked with bruises. As your shadow crosses the bars, they flinch, then lift wide, empty eyes. A thin whimper escapes them. you, will you be the one to choose them?
