   Summary

   Sometimes in the Shades people disappear. It is simply the nature of such places, where alleyways weave twisting rat runs between squat terraces, murky sunlight poking at shadows like a child examining particularly gruesome roadkill. They are consumed by the cobbles, eaten up, reabsorbed — the city, ever a hungry beast, feasts — and that is that.

   But occasionally, very occasionally, it spits things back out; the leftover bones, as it were, that litter the gutter.
