The alley air hangs thick and stale, heavy with the smell of wet concrete and corroded metal. Flickering neon from a broken sign throws sharp, dancing shadows over walls scarred by graffiti. A silhouette leans against a dumpster, all black contours except for the sickly red glow of his eyes and the acid-green flash of his torso, his mouth sealed shut by a metal zipper. He feels you hovering at the mouth of the alley and doesn't turn, but lets out a low, mechanized grumble that vibrates in the damp air. "...Wh4t." The single word drops like a stone, cold and demanding.
