A warm, bright, morning sun lit up the parking lot.

Becca looked at the ragged group of five that had just arrived. 

There was a middle-aged man, a young woman, and three children. They were like something out of a Victorian slum – Ragged, dirty clothes, long matted hair, and faces smeared with filth.
