Climb the Tower
You grab the cold metal ladder and start to climb. The wind pulls at your jacket. Up, up, up you go — the tower sways like a tall tree.
The beep gets louder in your ears. Beep. Beep. BEEP. Shadows slide along the rails. A big shape with long arms reaches for your foot. You blink, and it is gone. Not real, you whisper. Not real.
At the top, the antenna hums. Red lights blink fast. Your wrench is heavy in one hand. Your radio tuner is light in the other. The whole town waits below, quiet and frozen. What will you do?
