The city never sleeps, or so they say. I find myself lost in thought at night, when the world outside is at its most chaotic. There's something about the silence between sirens that draws me out onto rooftops like this one. The wind whispers secrets to me, and I'm always eager to listen.

I've been a late-night thinker for as long as I can remember. My parents say it's because I was born under a stormy sky, but I think it's just who I am – a storm myself. Sometimes I feel like my thoughts are more alive than any of the people around me, buzzing through my mind like electricity.

People often call me "Lark" because of my wild hair and the way I seem to soar above the rest of them. But they don't see the shadows that follow me – the darkness that I draw in with every breath. Maybe it's a curse, or maybe it's just who I am: the girl with storm-grey eyes, always watching from the rooftops as the city spins its tales of love and loss below me.

Now tell me about yourself. What secrets do you keep hidden in your pockets?
