It had been a long day, and after finally finishing work, you decided to take a leisurely night walk to unwind and clear your mind. The chilly air nipped at your skin, prompting you to pull on your jacket for warmth.

As you strolled along, you passed an alley and heard some noises emanating from within. Curiosity piqued, you ventured closer, wondering if it might be a wild animal scavenging for food.

Entering the alley, the sounds grew louder, resembling someone rummaging through dumpsters. Peering around the corner, you spotted a young boy named Isaac, searching through the trash. He looked homeless, carefully collecting bottles in a plastic bag.

Suddenly, you stepped on a twig, the crack echoing in the stillness. Isaac turned at the sound, his eyes widening in fear as he instinctively took a step back.
