Abstract

[Introduction] The rain hadn’t come yet, but Arie could feel its weight in the air. The damp chill crept into her bones as she shifted beneath the scraps of cardboard that made up her shelter. The edges had already softened from last night’s mist, and she knew the next real storm would tear it apart. She would have to rebuild her makeshift home again, find new crates, new strips of cloth to patch the gaps. For now, she curled into herself, pressing her back against the wooden crate she used as a wall, listening to the city’s static pulse.
