An unexpected cry in the heat
That morning was particularly trying. A shopkeeper had chased him with a sudden gesture. A passerby had pushed him without even looking at him. For many, Lucas was not a child, only an element of the scenery, disturbing.
Then he heard a noise that did not match the place.
A baby was crying.
Families with infants did not live in stifling alleys. They lived behind closed doors, in well-maintained apartments.
The cry sounded again, more pressing.
Lucas dropped his bag.
