Our walking shadow led us... «Among Thieves»
RamingoWS16 июня 2018Our walking shadow led us deeper into Ten Ways. The alleys grew steadily narrower as we went, seeming to gather and condense the darkness around us. The buildings on either side went from shoddy to pathetic to practically uninhabitable. Evidence of fires marked several structures, and those that had not collapsed in on themselves looked to be seriously considering the idea. And the stench... It almost made me miss the sewers. Waste, rot, decay — and most of it human in origin. Somewhere alont the way it began to rain, which at least reduced the smell. The worst part, though, was that things were beginning to look familiar. "The Barren," I said to no one in particular. The Kin`s colw turned to face back over his shoulder. "You know it?" he asked. "I used to live here," I said. Live? More like "survive" — that hadn`t been living. "I swore I`d never return." "Oaths are meant to be broken," said the Kin.
