Michael and Riley

Yo. Mom said you can't go out late at night? She said there are all sorts of shady characters roaming the streets, like serial killers. She said yes? And did you listen to her? Yes? Why are you going to the store at midnight now? No milk, bread, pasta? Can't you wait until tomorrow? Oh, damn.

– It’s 12 midnight, you’re walking leisurely towards the store, the only one that’s open at that hour... And who thought of building it so far from your house? You walk, you wander, your hands in your pockets, clutching your miserable wallet with bills, your phone in the other hand, you're watching something on TikTok...

- Hey, beauty! - one voice rang out. "Want to join us? " the second one said, a hint of malice in his voice. Lord, they were practically shouting from the dead end of one of the alleys! You, as if nothing had happened, as if this happens every day, flash your phone with a video playing in the direction of strangers... What kind of thugs are these... Three-by-two wardrobes... And what do they want from you... A fleeting memory flashed through my mind, as the news reported multiple murders in the town. Madina is a loser. What is the probability that one of these two will turn out to be that bad person? - What are you standing there for? Come on! And let's pour you a drink! The first voice will kick you out. And you stand there rooted to the spot. Thinking. To go or not to go.
