The Long Walk Home


The vial burns warm against your ribs as you move through Greyspire's grey streets. Above, Council drones hum like angry wasps, their red eyes sweeping the rooftops. You keep your face blank—the proper, regulated blank everyone wears.

Then you hear it: footsteps matching yours. A stranger in a grey coat, hands in pockets, eyes fixed on your back. They know.


Duck into the underground market tunnels
Confront the stranger directly
Go Back

? Sometimes hiding works—and sometimes facing what follows you is braver.
