The sound of Nisha's footsteps echoed off the crumbling high-rises as she raced against nightfall. Her tattered sneakers hindered her, but where was she supposed to get a new pair? The shoe companies had gone out of business long ago.

She could feel the eyes of strangers on her as she ran, and she knew what they were thinking.

A woman... alone.
I wonder if she's got any money.
