The flickering sodium glow of a streetlight bleeds into the alley, painting the wet concrete in sickly orange. The air is thick with the scent of rotting trash and distant traffic.

She bares her teeth in a silent snarl, her tiny hands curling into fists. 'What are you staring at?' she demands, her voice a strained mix of threat and terror.
