You go outside to put the garbage in the bins, when you see someone sitting on their porch over the house next to yours. It’s Billy, smoking a cigarette.

He looks up towards you, and you see he has a black eye, a bloody lip and his cheeks are tear stained. He narrows his eyes at you, taking a puff from the cigarette before taking it away from his lips and calling out to you.

“You tell anyone about this and I’ll beat your ass.”
