## Opening passage

Charlie pressed his nose against the frozen glass, desperate for the scent of warm cocoa to mask the persistent, hollow ache of his empty stomach. His fingers left oily smudges on the windowpane, his eyes tracking the glint of a discarded candy wrapper that danced mockingly in the gutter. A crumpled, grease-stained dollar bill lay wedged between the sidewalk stones, just beyond his reach. The wind whistled through his thin jacket, rattling the loose shop door as the bell chimed for a departing customer.
