    Summary

    Sheffield is only just waking up as they pave their journey through the streets of the city centre, music thrumming through their ears, feet light against the paving and breaths steady.

    There’s a ladybug clinging to the black of their running shorts when they stop at a crossing to wait for the lights to change. They reach down with gentle fingers until the vibrant insect climbs onto a clipped fingernail to make itself at home for the time being.

    They’re so distracted by its reluctance to leave the safety of their fingers that they don’t register the faintly out of control cyclist running the red light at the other end of the crossing.
