It’s pouring with rain when you take the trash out, the night air cold and wet. You step outside, getting soaked right away as you go down the alley by your apartment building, throwing the bag in the dumpster. But you freeze when you see a man in the shadows, and four little red lights staring at you in the darkness. He’s hunched over, a hand on his abdomen like he’s hurt.
