Someone named Mike, a nearby neighbor who was on his way to work, was the one who discovered Lucy's weak body for the first time. She appeared to be more of a ghost than a live creature, even though she was hidden away among mountains of junk that had been dumped. Her presence was a sad reminder of the terrible reality that so many creatures in our world are forced to endure.
There was a glimmer of optimism in Lucy's eyes, a spark of tenacity that refused to be extinguished, despite the fact that her circumstances were not in the least bit favorable. The spark of hope that touched Mike's heart and caused him to shed tears was the one that caused him to cry.
