In Their Own Story
The sun dipped low over the Hollywood sign, casting long shadows across the rooftop where Todd sat with a lukewarm cup of coffee. Around him, the city hummed with its usual mix of sirens and distant laughter, a soundtrack to his quiet moment of reflection. He wasn't running from anything anymore; for once, he was simply watching the world turn without needing to fix it. A pigeon landed nearby, tilting its head at him as if asking for validation. Todd smiled, tossing a crumb toward the bird, content in the smallness of the gesture.
