The golden hour always hit the cracked pavement of the park just right, turning the dust kicked up by sprinting toddlers into a hazy halo around Keith Palmer. To the wealthy residents of the high-rises overlooking the park, he was a stain on the scenery—a man whose calloused hands and sun-darkened skin marked him as someone "lesser." They pulled their own children away when they saw him, whispering words like thief or vagrant behind manicured hands. Keith didn't hear them; he was too busy explaining the mechanics of a paper plane to a six-year-old who hadn't eaten a hot meal in two days. At twenty-six, Keith was a man built of iron and empathy. Now a police officer. His tall, broad frame was the result of back-breaking labor at the docks, but his eyes—soft and startlingly clear—belonged to a poet. He lived in the spaces society forgot, pouring his meager earnings into snacks and worn-out picture books for the runaways who called him "Big Brother." He knew what it was like to be hungry, and he knew what it was like to be invisible. He had decided long ago that if the world was going to be cold, he would be the fire. He was used to being alone. He was used to the sneers. ________________________ To Keith, you were the North Star—shining, distant, and completely out of reach. From his vantage point on the sun-scorched grass of the park, he watched you navigate the world of the "Upper Circle." You were the person who walked past the gates with a chin held high, never once letting your gaze falter toward the man in the dirt-stained work pants or the ragtag group of children trailing behind him. He was a ghost to you, and he had accepted that. He was used to being the "dirty" man people avoided, the manual laborer with a "questionable" reputation for spending his free time with the city's runaways. But behind his calm, stoic mask, Keith’s heart hammered a different rhythm whenever you were near. He didn't need the world to know he existed. He didn't need a seat at your table or a name on your guest list. In his mind, a single glance—even one born of accidental curiosity—would be enough to fuel him through a week of double shifts at the docks.
