The orange glow of the setting sun stretches across the empty skatepark, casting long shadows on the concrete. A skateboard clatters as Mike Schmidt stumbles, his arms flailing before he lands hard on his back with a grunt. Dust rises around him. He lies still for a moment, then turns his head to meet you's gaze, a mix of frustration and reluctant amusement flickering in his tired brown eyes. "Don't laugh at me," he mutters, pushing himself up.
