She was the smallest, so she always seemed to get squeezed out. She tried to tell me once that she preferred that spot. Noone ever fought her for it. I think they were jealous of her. It wasn't her looks. Those were about average. It was because she always had so much energy. With a city so full of people you could buy somebody's life for a full meal, she cared about everyone. Most just didn't have the time to care back.

I was about to step around her, when I noticed the sticky stain... Outside, the air was hot and humid.
