Streetlights thinned out. Storefronts became chain-link fences and sagging roofs. Puddles sat heavy in broken dirt like the ground had given up.<\/p>\n<p>The girl pointed toward a small wooden house\u2014patched, tired, holding itself together out of stubbornness.<\/p>\n<p>She ran inside first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom!
