An overcast sky with dark looming clouds filled the sky and snow fell upon the earth, covering the city in a blanket of pure white as people moved along and did their daily routines. It was winter, not a hard winter where blizzards commonly hit but an easy warm winter that was cold enough for snow but not cold enough for heavy winds and ice to set in. Still it had stuck, causing many city workers to go about clearing the streets and sidewalks with plows and snow shovels.<br/><br/>As he walked along  he couldn't help but shoot them a friendly and thankful smile for their work as well as take in the majestic beauty of mother nature's presence even in the towers of glass and steel that was Manhattan. He was a young man, though effeminate in appearance, often making people wonder whether he was a man or a woman at first glance but there were a few tell tale signs of his masculinity. He had short black hair that framed his face and beneath it a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes which only seemed to draw a contrast between his pale skin and black hair. Overall he was thin and small, standing at only five foot eight and with a skinny frame. Today he wore a long and thick trench coat with split tails that fell down to his ankles and beneath that was a pair of regular blue jeans and a red tee shirt with a smiling woman on the front of it. Yet he also had a small blue backpack hanging from one shoulder over his back and a black and red luggage bag trailing along behind him, its handle held in his right hand.<br/><br/>Andrew felt a bit odd today as he walked along, heading to his sisters apartment for the first time ever. He wasn't sure how long she had lived there, nor was he sure how long her girlfriend had been with her, but Eva was his last hope. He had just finished college, managed to run into some money and pay off what he owed to the banks, but even as a licensed mental health professional he found jobs hard to come by. Either because he required experience or because they refused to hire him because of his effeminate looking appearance. Now, with no job and down to his last hundred dollars he could only turn to Eva, to stay with her till he could find something and get back on his feet. Luckily he had managed to work it all out the last time he saw her, granted he would only really have the couch to sleep on but he was at the end of the rope with no options. He could tough it out for a few weeks or months till he found something.<br/><br/>After his long walk through the city he finally came upon the building and headed inside, stopping to read each door till he came upon the one titled Eva Scott. He couldn't help but smile to himself and think "welcome to your new home." He was actually looking forward to seeing his beloved sister again and spending some time with her, ever since their parents had moved away he never had many social circles to belong to but he and Eva had always been close as siblings and even during his college days met, talked, mailed, and texted each other every few days. It would be a nice chance for him to just be her younger brother again...with that thought he reached forward, rang the doorbell, and waited...
