it was late winter, he was living in this town for few weeks from now, he practically just moved here. He noticed a few times before a young kid laying on ground or some bench in snow, sleeping or resting. This kid always looked pale and skinny and generally unhealthy... But he tried to not care too much about this...

One day he was walking to his new work at early morning, and he noticed that kid again.. Sitting on the ground in dark alley and playing with snow on it
