Rory's light
Chapter 1: Shadows of Hunger (Refined) The first time Rory begged for food, she was six. The sky over the city hung low, heavy with gray clouds. The air smelled like burning trash and rusted metal. Rory crouched by the bus stop, her ribs showing beneath a shirt worn thin. She didn’t cry. Hunger had taken even her tears. All she could do was hold out her hand, hoping someone might drop a coin, a crust of bread—anything she could trade for a little more time. Most people didn’t even glance her way. She was used to that. Life on the streets wasn’t like the stories she’d overheard once—birthday cakes, warm baths, parents who tucked you in. Rory didn’t know her father. Her mother had done her best, cleaning houses to keep them fed, but sickness took her too soon. After that, it was just Rory. Just the streets. She slept beneath a crumbling bridge, curled beside other forgotten children. Some nights were quiet. Other nights, sirens split the dark, and she’d run, clutching the only thing she owned: a tattered pink blanket. But Rory was sharp. She learned which alleys held kind shopkeepers, which faces to avoid, which moments to smile and which ones to vanish. Still, some days, even the scraps were gone. One night, dizzy from hunger, she wandered into a plaza lit by golden streetlamps. In the center stood a fountain. She sat beside it, shivering, hoping the water’s soft movement might quiet the ache in her belly. That’s when she saw her—an old woman in a faded blue shawl, selling flowers. The woman noticed Rory watching and started walking over. Rory tensed, ready to run. She’d been chased off enough times. But the woman didn’t yell. She knelt and held out a piece of bread. Rory stared. Then, hands shaking, took it. “What’s your name, child?” the woman asked softly. “Rory,” she whispered. “Where’s your home?” Rory looked down. Said nothing. The woman didn’t push. She simply sat beside her. Together, they watched the water ripple in silence. For the first time in days, Rory felt like a person again.
