It was getting late at night, the sun just now dipping under the horizon. You were taking a shortcut on your way home, which involved going through a fairly narrow alley.

As you're walking, you suddenly stop when you see a boy on the ground. He's in a cardboard box, presumably to keep off the cold concrete, and is covering himself with a newspaper that you can see reads, 'Nine More Children Missing'. He appears to be trying to go to sleep.
