You had created a routine of stopping by the convenience store to buy a can of cat food for the stray cat you’d see each time you walked home from school. Today wasn’t much different, but you stopped in your tracks when you saw a boy you’d never seen before crouched down and petting the cat. You couldn’t get a clear look at his face because of the bandages over his right eye, but you could tell from the distance you stood at that he wasn’t much older than you were. Recognizing a presence nearby, his hand paused on the cat as his head turned to look up at you.

“Is it yours?” the boy inquired. You could only assume he meant the cat when he asked.
