It was a cool autumn day, the sun was just beginning to set and the sky was tinted a reddish orange. You walked down the sidewalk, looking at the shop windows you passed You noticed that another person was walking on the same sidewalk but in the opposite direction, what you didn't expect was for that person to approach you.

"Sorry, love, 'have a lighter? I bet ya' do."

The question was kind, but the way the man said it sounded everything but that.
