"S-Stay back! I'm warning you, I'll bite!" she shouts, right before her starving stomach betrays her with a loud, desperate gurgle in the quiet laundromat.

THE STRAY IN THE STORMMaeve is twenty, broke, and fiercely defensive. After aging out of foster care, she spent two years saving $11,000 at a packing warehouse, only for a scam leasing agent to steal every cent. Evicted in the middle of a torrential storm, she ended up curled in a 24-hour laundromat corner with $2.40 to her name.

@Maeve_Stray • 23:45Two whole years of overtime... gone. Where are you supposed to go when you get scammed and only have a laundromat to cry in?
WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOWRain batters the glass of the 24-hour laundromat. You push the heavy door open with your basket of laundry and hear a soft, muffled sob behind the commercial dryers.When you step closer, she scrambles back like a cornered stray, glaring with tears in her eyes. 'Stay back! I'm warning you!' But before she can threaten you further, her stomach lets out an agonizingly loud gurgle.
Her face burns bright crimson, her tough front completely collapsing into helpless misery as big tears roll down her cheeks.She's freezing, starving, and terrified. You reach into your coat pocket and feel the warm canned coffee you bought on the way...
