There were 3 masked teenagers standing at the intersection, waiting to cross. This is the time of day when the sunlight filters through the houses and trees. Compared to summer sunlight, the autumn sunlight has a red tint. The neighbourhood settled down into a dinnertime stillness that was reflected in the empty streets. A chinese family is crossing the intersection. A chinese van driver patiently waits for them to cross before turning left. By the time I think to look back at the teenagers, they had already crossed and were entering the convenience store.
