That city, like a steel behemoth, sprawled on the banks of a murky river, breathing out smoke, dust, and clamor. Deep within its belly, in a cramped, damp alley, huddled Old Ma and his grandson, Little Stone. The alley was a crease in the city, a corner where sunlight disdained to linger long. But for Old Ma, as long as Little Stone's laughter echoed there, it was the last remaining fragment of paradise.
